It Had Better Be Tonight Lyrics

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 may hold me
And they might make me feel 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!"
