The lyrics of “That’s Amore” describe the feelings you have when you are head over heels in love. The Italian twist makes the lyrics even more romantic with references to food and drinks more common in Italy at the time than in the US.
Today “That’s Amore” is considered the most classic song about love ever written and remains a staple in popular culture.
My Own Lyrics Challenge is going through the years to spotlight cool songs and this post is for 1954. “That’s Amore” was written for the Martin and Lewis comedy film The Caddy “That’s Amore” as recorded by Dean Martin rose to number two upon release and was number 16 on the year-end chart.
“That’s Amore” is a signature song for Dean Martin. Here he is performing it with others in The Caddy:
That’s Amore - Jac Brooks & Harry Warren
[Intro]
In Napoli where love is king
When boy meets girl
Here's what they sing
[Chorus]
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 amore
[Bridge]
Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling
Ting-a-ling-a-ling and you'll sing, "Vita bella"
Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay
Tippy-tippy-tay like a gay tarantella
[Verse 1]
When the stars make you drool
Just like a pasta e fazul, that's amore
When you dance down the street
With a cloud at your feet, you're in love
[Verse 2]
When you walk in a dream
But you know, you're not dreaming signore
Scusami, but you see
Back in old Napoli, that's amore
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling
Ting-a-ling-a-ling and you'll sing, "Vita bella"
Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay
Tippy-tippy-tay like a gay tarantella
Lucky fella
[Verse 1 & 2]
[Outro]
That's amore
