When the moon hits your eye like a big piece of pie
Dean Martin sang it twenty times better.
shareYes Dean sang it better ...
but there also doesn't seem to be very much "AMORE" taking place in this story where the transactions taking place between the characters seems to be mostly about SEX rather than about LOVE.
And that's also been demonstrated for us by the way the girl singing the song also has sex with the other singer as a way to get a job singing ... PLUS she also offers to have SEX with the HOTEL MANAGER as well in order to get the job that she has now.

In Napoli, where love is king
When boy meets girl, here's what they say
When the moon hits your 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 e fasule, that's amore
When you dance down the street with
A cloud at your feet, you're in love
When you walk in a dream but you know you're not dreaming, signore
Scusami, but you see, back in old Napoli, that's amore
It’s pasta fagioli … pronounced in Southern Italy “pasta fa/joel”
