It Had Better Be Tonight

Meglio sta sera, baby, go, go , go

Or as we natives say, Va subito.

If you're ever going to 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 sta sera, baby, go, go , go

Or as we natives say, Va 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 tight

But, I warn you sweet paisano

It had better be tonight

Meglio sta sera, baby, go, go , go

Or as we natives say, Va subito.
