A fine romance with no kisses
A fine romance, my friend, this is
We should be like a couple of hot tomatoes
But you're as cold as yesterday's mashed potatoes

A fine romance--you won't nestle
A fine romance--you won't wrestle
I might as well play bridge with my old maid aunt

Well, alright, okay, you win
I'm in love with you
Well, alright, okay, you win
Baby, what can I do?
I'll do anything you say
It's just got to be that way

Well, alright, okay, you win

Birds singin' in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me

Say nighty-night and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be

Build it up with iron bars,
Iron bars,

An' ramblin' that's his game, that's it
He's Rambo, talkin' bout
Me!
We'll see (Piano)
They call him Rambo 'cause he's travellin'
He don't stay one place
His life's a string he keeps unravellin'

A girl went back to Napoli
Because she missed the scenery
The native dances and the charming songs
But wait a minute, something's wrong
Hey, mambo! Mambo italiano!
Hey, mambo! Mambo italiano
Go, go, go you mixed up sicialiano
All you calabraise-a do the mambo like a crazy with a

Well, baby, what I couldn't dо
With plenty of money and you
In spite of the worry that money brings
Just a little filthy looker buys a lot of things

And I could take you to places
That you would like to go
But outside of that
