Lyrics
'Twas on the Isle of Capri that I found you
Beneath the shade of an old walnut tree
Oh, I can still see the flowers blooming round you
Where we met on the Isle of Capri
You were as sweet as a rosebud at dawning
But somehow fate hadn't meant you for me
And though we sail with the tide in the morning
We are still on the Isle of Capri
Summertime was nearly over
Blue Italian skies above
I said, "Lady, I'm a rover
Can you spare a sweet word of love?"
That Capri Isle was a real rear near
And we were both feeling romantically
But then the boat whistle warned not to linger
It was goodbye to the Isle of Capri
We hit the Isle of Capri with the tourists
We hit the Isle of Capri with the tourists
You couldn't cut through that mob with a knife
You couldn't cut through that mob with a knife
It seemed that all of the tourists were purists
It seemed the tourists were purists
Every man hung around with his wife
We ordered pasta and all kinds of vinos
We ordered pasta and all kinds of vinos
While seven stale mandolins hacked away
While seven stale mandolins hacked away
I think the pasta is better at Dino's
The pasta's better at Dino's
Which is back on the Strip in L.A.
Every time we think of Capri
The mandolins that we heard then
We get quite a strong misapprehension we may hear them again
Arrivederci to memories we made there
And to that island where romance begins
I've often felt that we both might have stayed
There if it weren't for those stale mandolins
If it weren't for those stale mandolins
