No. 8—That’s Amore – Dean Martin

Lyrics:  The Crimanales

 

(In Key Largo where coin is king

When one con meets another here’s what they say)

 

When the coin hits your eye like a big pizza pie

That’s amore

When the coin seems to shine like you’ve had too much wine

That’s amore

Coins will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling

And you’ll sing “Vita bella”

We’ll say tipme-tipme-tay, tipme-tipme-tay

Like a gay tarantella

 

When the coins make you drool just like a pasta fagiole

That’s amore

When you dance down the street with some coin at your feet

You’re all mine

When agreed to the scheme but you know you’re not

Scheming signore

Scuzza me, but you see, back in old Key Largo

That’s amore

 

When the coin hits your eye like a big pizza pie

That’s amore

When the coin seems to shine like you’ve had too much wine

That’s amore

Coins will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling

And you’ll sing “Vita bella”

We’ll say tipme-tipme-tay, tipme-tipme-tay

Like a gay tarantella

 

When the coins make you drool just like a pasta fagiole

That’s amore

When you dance down the street with some coin at your feet

You’re all mine

When agree to my new scheme but you know you’re not

Scheming signore

Scuzza me, but you see, back in old Key Largo

That’s amore

Lucky fella
