The Man Who Plays The Mandolino

With his little mandoline and a twinkle in his eye,

Signorinas he can win always for another guy.

Italians love to sip a cup of cappuccino

And listen to the man who plays the mandolino.

You offer him a cigarette, a glass of vino.

That's how he's paid to serenade your lady fair.

With his little mandoline and a twinkle in his eye,

Signorinas he can win always for another guy.

He seems like such a happy man,

The man who plays the mandolino.

He sings a song of sweet romance

For all the lovers as they dance.

But all he's holding in his arms is just a little mandolino.

He has no woman of his own, so every night he walks alone.

With his little mandoline and a twinkle in his eye,

Signorinas he can win always for another guy.

Chor:  And while he's strumming songs of love

The man who plays the mandolino,

His eyes are always looking for

A Signorina to adore.

He drinks a toast to his true love, each time he lifts a glass of vino.

And so until that lucky day he looks for her along the way.

With his little mandoline and a twinkle in his eye,

Signorinas he can win always for another guy.

The man who plays the mandolino.
