Lyrics of
Thats Amore

Thats Amore was composed by Harry Warren (music) and Jack Brooks (lyrics). It became famous through Dean Martins performance. Originally written for the film The Caddy, starring Martin and Jerry Lewis, in 1953, the song became a massive hit, not only in the United States but around the world, being associated with romance and the stereotypical image of Italy.

When the 
Moon hits your eye
Like a big pizza pie,
That's amore;

When the
World seems to
Shine like you've
Had too much wine,
That's a - more.

Bells will 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 fa-zool,
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 pizza pie,
That's amore;

When the
World seems to
Shine like you've
Had too much wine,
That's a - more.

Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling
And you'll sing "Vita bella." "Vita bella"
Hearts'll play tippi-tippi-tay, tippi-tippi-tay
Like a gay tarantella. Lucky fella.

When the
Stars make you drool
Joost-a like pasta fa-zool,
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.
