It Had Better Be Tonight
Meglio stasera
Baby go go go
Or as we natives say
"Fa subito!"
If you're ever gonna kiss me
It had better be tonight
While the mandolins are playing
And stars are bright
If you've anything to tell me
It had better be tonight
Or somebody else may tell me
And whisper the words just right
Meglio stasera
Baby go go go
Or as we natives say
"Fa subito!"
If you're ever gonna hold me
It had better be tonight
Or somebody else might hold me
And make me feel just right
For this poor Americano
Who knows little of your speech
Meglio stasera
Baby go go go
Or as we natives say
"Fa subito!"
Be a nice Italiano
And start to teach
Show me how in old Milano
Lovers hold each other tight
But I want you sweet paesano
It had better be tonight
Meglio stasera
Baby go go go
Or as we natives say
"Fa subito!"
