Those may be the lyrics on a different recording, Roy, but they're not the ones sung by The Gaylords in their popular US recording. Those are as Pola posted above.
The only difference is that some of the words are contracted, thus:
Le scarpine per ballare, ballare, Balleremo tutt' il dì. Le scarpine per ballare, ballare Ballerem' ancor così.
Either way, the chorus says pretty much the same thing.
