That’s Cucina: Words by Peter Kilkus. Sung to the melody That’s Amore

When the food in your dish is like granting a wish

That’s Cucina

When more wine in your cup is too good to pass up

That’s Cucina

Day will end, talking to your friends, laughter never ends,

And you’ll sing my Cucina

Hearts will play, who can really say, if there’s a better day

Than a day at Cucina?

The Original: That’s Amore

When the moon hits you eye like a big pizza pie

That's amore

When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine

That's amore

Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling

And you'll sing "Vita bella"

Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-tay

Like a gay tarantella

When the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool

That's amore

When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet

You're in love

When you walk down in a dream but you know you're not

Dreaming signore

Scuzza me, but you see, back in old Napoli

That's amore
