THAT'S AMORE

Words & music by:-
Jack Brooks & Harry Warren

When the moon hits your 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

Bells'll ring ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling
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 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 your 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

Bells will ring, ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling
Vita bell-vita bella

Hearts will play, tippi-tippi-tay, tippi-tippi-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
'Scusa me, but you see, back in old Napoli,
That's amore
