NAT KING COLE - CAPPUCINA (Permettete signorina) '61

LYRICS: "Cappuccina" (Permettete signorina)

Signorina, Cappuccina
Has each Roman signorino on the run
She's curvaceous, But good gracious
Ninety guys believe that they're here number one!

Captivating, Cappuccina,
She's what makes the Tower Pisa take a bow
She'll be yours for a day,
Then no matter what you say,
Cappuccina, says caio!

Signorina, Cappuccina,
Is the queen of every coffee house in Rome,
Cappuccina, Wild bambina,
Every day, she breaks a heart or
Breaks a home!

Maybe someday, Cappuccina,
Someone's gonna make you fall
Beneath his spell
Then you'll beg him to stay,
But like you, he's gonna say
Cappuccina, fare thee well!

Permettete, signorina
Vi dispiace se vi chiedo di ballar
Non c'e' bimba piu' carina
Che mi possa questa sera far sognar

Maybe someday, Cappuccina,
Someone's gonna make you fall
Beneath his spell
O mia bella signorina
Baciami ancor
Dammi dammi un bacio
Un lungo bacio
E ciao ciao ciao
Amor!
