Anytime that I`m feeling love
There`s a place that I love to go 
A little castle in the sky
Where I can watch the world go by

A restaurant beneath the stars
With mandolines and soft guitarres
You meet the high life and the low
The most amusing place I know

When it`s time to wine and dine
There`s a favorite place of mine
Ring the Maître D' 
Ask if maybe he 
Can have a table free at nine
He`ll be there to welcome me
To this crazy comedy
Where the rich and famous love to be

You see the clientele walk in
And watch the cabaret begin
It`s such a special place to be
There is so much that you can see
You see the lover`s deep in dreams
And those who querrel making scenes
You see a maestro and the clown
And all the famous from the town

When it`s time to wine and dine
There`s a favorite place of mine
Ring the Maître D' 
And ask if maybe he
Can have a table free at nine
He`ll be there to welcome me 
To this crazy comedy
Where the rich and famous love to be

The pretty lady who appears
Is trying hard to hide the years
The gigolo who walks behind
Is only mindy on his mind

The movie star will always pose
To get the maximum applause
It`s like a circus everywhere
And so exciting to be there

When it`s time to wine and dine
There`s a favorite place of mine
Ring the Maître D' 
And ask if maybe he
Can have a table free at nine
He`ll be there to welcome me
To this crazy comedy
Where the rich and famous love to be

My Italian restaurant
Gives me everything I want
La la la..
My Italian restaurant
Won`t you come along with me
To this crazy comedy
Where the rich and famous love to be
