When boy meets girl, here's what they say)
When the moon hits you eye like a big-a pizza pie
That's amore
When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine
That's amore
And you'll sing "Vita bella"
Hearts'll play tippi-tippi-tay, tippi-tippi-tay
Like a gay tarantella
When the stars make you drool joost-a like a 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 Dreamin', signore
'Scusa me, but you see, back in old Napoli, that's amore
(When the moon hits you eye like a big-a pizza pie, that's amore)
That's amore
(When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine, that's amore)
That's amore
Bells will ring
Ting-a-ling-a-ling
Ting-a-ling-a-ling
And you'll sing "Vita bella"
Vita bell-vitabella
Hearts will play
Tippi-tippi-tay, tippy-tippy-tay
Like a gay tarantella
Lucky fella
When the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool
That's amore (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
When the stars make you drool just like a 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, (amore)

I remember watching The Dean Martin Show on our 1st tv in black and white and Dean sang this song, I didn't much care for the song then, but, now that I'm older, I do.
@irvinhimmelberg4065
Dean was an entertainer. Today's so called music is nothing but abusive noise
@didibolter9362
@@irvinhimmelberg4065 I agree with you Irvin!
