[1st verse:]
|
Ev'ryone talk-a how they make-a da love
|
Call-a da sweet-a name-a like-a da dove
|
It makes me sick-a when they start in to speak-a
|
'Bout the moon 'way up above
|
What's-a da use to have-a big-a da moon?
|
What's-a da use to call-a dove?
|
If he no like-a she, and she no like-a he
|
The moon can't make them love
|
But
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
Sweet Italian love
|
Nice Italian love
|
You don't need the moon-a-light your love to tell her
|
In da house or on da roof or in da cellar
|
Dat's Italian love
|
Sweet Italian love
|
When you kiss-a your pet
|
And it's-a like-a spagett
|
Dat's Italian love!
|
|
[2nd verse:]
|
Ev'ryone say they like da moon-a da light
|
There's one-a man up in da moon all-a right
|
But he no tell-a that some other nice feller
|
Was-a kiss your gal last night
|
Maybe you give your gal da wedding-a ring
|
Maybe you marry, like-a me
|
Maybe you love your wife, maybe for all your life
|
But dat's only maybe
|
But
|
|
[2nd refrain:]
|
Sweet Italian love
|
Nice Italian love
|
When you squeeze your gal and she no say "Please stop-a!"
|
When you got dat twenty kids what call you "Papa!"
|
Dat's Italian love
|
Sweet Italian love
|
When you kiss one-a time
|
And it's-a feel like-a nine
|
Dat's Italian love!
|
