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

For this poor Americano

Who knows little of your speech

Be a nice Italiano

And start to teach

Show me how in old Milano

Lovers hold each other oh so tight

But I warn you sweet paesano

But it had better be tonight

Meglio stasera baby go go go

Or as we natives say Fa subito
