That’s Amore..
In Napoli, where love is king, when boy meets girl, here’s what they say…
When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, That’s Amore..
When the world seems to shine like you’ve had too much wine, That’s Amore.
Bells’ll ring, (ting-a-ling-a ling), (ting-a-ling-a ling),
And you’ll sing “Vee-ta bel-la”-
Hearts’ll play, tippy-tippy tay, tippy-tippy tay, like a gay tarantella.

When the stars make you drool just like pasta fa -zool, That’s Amore.
When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet, you’re in love-
When you walk in a dream but you know you’re not dreaming, Signor-e-
Scu-za me, but you see, back in old Nap-o-li, That’s Amore.
