Lyrics
In Napoli, where love is king
When boy meets girl, here’s what they sing
Refrain
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 will ring, ting-a-ling-a-ling
Ting-a-ling-a-ling
And you’ll sing, “Veeta bella”
Hearts will play, tippy-tippy-tay
Tippy-tippy-tay like a gay tarantella
(Lucky fella)
When the stars make you drool
Just like pasta fazool, 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, Signore
Scuzza me, but you see
Back in old Napoli, that’s amore
