Sweet Italian Love (9 Jun 1910) Lyrics

[1st verse:] 
Ev'ryone talk-a how they make-a da love
Call-a da sweet-a name-a like-a da dove 
It makes me sick-a when they start in to speak-a 
'Bout the moon 'way up above
What's-a da use to have-a big-a da moon? 
What's-a da use to call-a dove? 
If he no like-a she, and she no like-a he 
The moon can't make them love 
But 

[chorus:] 
Sweet Italian love 
Nice Italian love 
You don't need the moon-a-light your love to tell her
In da house or on da roof or in da cellar 
Dat's Italian love 
Sweet Italian love 
When you kiss-a your pet 
And it's-a like-a spagett
Dat's Italian love! 

[2nd verse:] 
Ev'ryone say they like da moon-a da light 
There's one-a man up in da moon all-a right 
But he no tell-a that some other nice feller 
Was-a kiss your gal last night 
Maybe you give your gal da wedding-a ring 
Maybe you marry, like-a me 
Maybe you love your wife, maybe for all your life 
But dat's only maybe 
But 

[2nd chorus:] 
Sweet Italian love 
Nice Italian love 
When you squeeze your gal and she no say "Please stop-a!" 
When you got dat twenty kids what call you "Papa!"
Dat's Italian love 
Sweet Italian love 
When you kiss one-a time 
And it's-a feel like-a nine 
Dat's Italian love!
