Legato Gelato Zach Sherwin

I'm at the club scene where I met Miss Green Eyes
She said, "I can tell by the size of your schnoz
That you're Zach Sherwin, and I'm totally TWI!"
I said, "Oh, you're a Nas fan also? That's great!
We have so much in common!
We're clearly soulmates who were fated to date!"
She said "Hold up and wait
I'm flattered -- you're coming in too fast and hot though
You need to be more legato gelato."
I said, "What? Legato gelato?
That's a slang term whose meaning I do not know!
But I'm intrigued by the sound of it..."
She said "Well let me break it down a bit
You might know the word 'legato' if you've ever studied music before
If you see it written down on a musical score
Then the composer is directing you
To play or sing all the notes smoothly and connected to the others
With no breaks in between
Now let me demonstrate a little bit and you can see what I mean."

She sang, "Laaa, laaa, laaa: that's legato
Not, la-la-la; that's staccato
The opposite of what legato is
And don't tell me that you don't know what gelato is!"

I said, "Yes, I sure do, it's a dessert
That you gotta keep ice cold in the freezer
And now I'm no longer dazed and confused
Now I think I understand the phrase that you used
Does it mean 'keep it chill?'" She said "Yep."
I said "Thought so. Smooth and cool! Legato gelato!"
