Tonetti:
In Italia the signori are so very amatory
That their passion, a priori, is l'amor

Girls:
Is it always l'amor?

Tonetti:
Si` sempre l'amore
And from Napoli to Pisa
Ev'ry man has on his knees a
Little private Mona Lisa To adore.

Girls:
And he once said before
It's always l'amore

Tonetti:
The result is
When Italians meet a friend who's been away
Instead of sayin' "How's your health?"
They say

How's your romance?
How is it going?
Waning or growing
How's your romance?
Does she or not love you an awful lot?
Cold, tepid, warm, or hot
How's your romance?
Do you from the moment you met her
Never, never, never forget her?
Do you when she sends you a letter
Begin to go into a dance
Break me the news
I'm with you win or lose
So tell me how's and who's your romance?

Girls:
Do you from the moment you met him
Never, never, never forget him?
Do you when he wants you to let him
Begin to go into a dance?

All:
Break me the news
I'm with you win or lose
So tell me how's and who's your romance?
