For Tiggerdooley, as promised:

OH! OH! ANTONIO

1. In quaint native dress
An Italian maid
Was deep in distress
As the streets she strayed,
Searching in ev'ry part
For her false sweetheart
And his ice cream cart
Her English was bad,
It cannot be denied,
And so to herself in Italian she cried:

CHORUS: Oh! Oh! Antonio
He's gone away,
Left me all aloneio,
All on my ownio.
I want to meet him with
His new sweetheart
Then up will go Antonio
And his icecream cart.

2. So sad grew the plight
Of this fair young lass,
She'd faint at the sight
Of an ice cream glass.
She'd dream nigh ev'ry day
He'd come back to stay,
But he'd fade away.
Her old hurdy gurdy
All day she'd parade,
And this she would sing to each tune that it played:

(CHORUS)

3. She sought in despair
For Antonio,
And looked ev'rywhere
That she thought he'd go.
Soon she to pine began
As each face she'd scan
For her ice cream man.
She faded away,
But they say in the streets
The ghost of that girl in Italian, repeats:

(CHORUS)
