Isle Of Capri

It's Only a Paper Moon (The Great Magoo, 1932 Show) - Gracie Fields

'Twas on the Isle of Capri that he found her

Beneath the shade of an old walnut tree

Oh I can still see the flowers blooming 'round her

Where they met on the Isle of Capri

She was as sweet as a rose at the dawning

But somehow fate hadn't meant it to be

And though he sailed with the tide in the morning

Still his heart's in the Isle of Capri

Summertime was nearly over

Blue Italian sky above

He said lady I'm a rover

Can you spare a sweet word of love

She whispered softly it's best not to linger

And then as he kissed her hand he could see

She wore a plain golden ring on her finger

'Twas good-bye on the Isle of Capri

Somewhere far away over Naples Bay

I heard a quaint lover's story

It's magic thrill holds a spell on me still

It's a story old that's been sadly told

Down by the shore in the moonlight

How love began for a girl and a man

'Twas on the Isle of Capri that he found her

Beneath the shade of an old walnut tree

Ha-ha-ha-hahhhhhh ha-ha-ha-hah

Where they met on the Isle of Capri

She was as sweet as a rose at the dawning

But somehow fate hadn't meant it to be

Ha-ha-ha-hahhhhhh ha-ha-ha-hah

Still his heart's in the Isle of Capri

Summertime was nearly over

Gray Italian sky above

He said lady I'm a rover

Can you spare a sweet word of love

Ha-ha-ha-hah ha-ha-hah ha-ha-hah-hah

Ha-ha-ha-hah ha-ha-hah ha-ha-hahhh

She wore a plain golden ring on her finger

'Twas good-bye on the Isle of Capri
