Laroo laroo
lilli bolero,
laroo laroo
lilli bolero . . .
That's a magic sayin'
That I heard one day in Napoli;
When a fortune teller
In a dim lit cellar
said to me . . .
"You say laroo lilli bolero;
And just like that,
Quick as an arrow!
You'll find the girl who's meant for you."
And sure enough it all came true,
Laroo laroo lilli bolero!
When a fortune teller
In a dim lit cellar
said to me . . .
"You say laroo lilli bolero;
And just like that,
Quick as an arrow!
You'll find the girl who's meant for you."
And sure enough it all came true,
Laroo laroo lilli bolero!
Laroo laroo . . .
lilli bolero!
