Ciribiribin (11-08-39) - Harry James

When the moon hangs low in Napoli, there’s a handsome gondolier

Every night he sings so happily, so his lady love can hear

In a manner oh gravissimo, he repeats his serenade

And his heart beats so fortissimo, when she raises her Venetian shade

Ciribiribin, chiribiribin, ciribiribin

Ciribiribin, he waits for her each night beneath her balcony

Ciribiribin, he begs to hold her tight, but no, she won’t agree

Ciribiribin, she throws a rose and blows a kiss from up above

Ciribiribin, ciribiribin, ciribiribin, they’re so in love

(musical interlude)

Ciribiribin, ciribiribin, ciribiribin, they’re so in love
