[Sung:]
Buona sera, signorina, buona sera.
It is time to say goodnight to Napoli.
Though it's hard for us to whisper, "Buona sera."
With that old moon above the Mediterranean Sea.
In the mornin', signorina, we'll go walkin',
Where the mountains help the sun come into sight.
And by the little jewelry shop we'll stop and linger,
While I buy a wedding ring for your finger.
(In the meantime let me tell you that I love you.)
Buona sera, signorina, kiss me goodnight.
Buona sera, signorina, kiss me goodnight.
[Vocal stylings.]
[Backup singers repeat, "Doot-doo-wah, doot-doot-doo-wah."
over the next verse.]
Buona sera, signorina, buona sera.
It is time to say goodnight to Napoli.
Though it's hard for us to whisper, "Buona sera."
With that old moon above the Mediterranean Sea.
Mmmm, in the mornin', signorina, we'll go walkin'.
Where the mountains help the sun come into sight.
And by the little jewelry shop we'll stop and linger,
While I buy a wedding ring for your finger.
(In the meantime let me tell you that I love you.)
And, buona sera, signorina, kiss me goodnight.
[Instrumental break featuring Louis Prima on trumpet.]
By the little jewelry shop we'll stop and linger,
While I buy a wedding ring for your finger.
(In the meantime let me tell you that I love you.)
Buona sera, signorina, kiss me goodnight.
Buona sera, signorina, kiss me goodnight.
Mmmm-sera, signoria, kiss me goodnight.
