That's amore
Larry Dalton and his Orchestra Lyrics

In Napoli where love is king
In the city of Naples where love is the reigning force

When boy meets girl
The age-old story of when a boy comes across a girl

Here's what they say
This is what is commonly uttered

When the moon hits your eye
When the moon's reflection strikes and captures your eyeballs

Like a big pizza pie, that's amore
This is the feeling of love, described as being like a huge, round pizza

When the world seems to shine
When everything around you appears to gleam and glisten

Like you've had too much wine, that's amore
This feeling of excessive delight is known as love

Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling
The bells will make a recurrent sound

Ting-a-ling-a-ling and you'll sing, "Vita bella"
You'll sing ‘Vita bella’ in accompaniment to the bells

Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay
The sound of hearts beating rapidly

Tippy-tippy-tay like a gay tarantella
Such heartbeats sound like the lively, hopping music of a Tarantella dance

When the stars make you drool
When the stars make you feel emotional and elated

Just like a pasta fasul, that's amore
The way the stars make you feel is equatable to the Italian pasta dish ‘pasta Fasul’

When you dance down the street
When you happily dance along the street

With a cloud at your feet, you're in love
You are in love when you feel like you are walking on air

When you walk down in a dream
When you traverse through the paths of your imagination

But you know, you're not dreaming, signore
But you are not asleep, sir, and are fully aware

Scusami, but you see
Excuse me, but you understand

Back in old Napoli, that's amore
This is what the folks of old Naples used to refer to as love

That's amore
That, my friend, is love!

Lucky fella
A fortunate young lad indeed!
