I can't explaina how I feel
my heart no let me speak,
Antonio, he run away
and leave me lasta week;
He take 'em all the money
what I hide under the floor,
He also take the Irish gal
that livea next a door;
He thinks that I'm an easy mark,
like what you call the "jay"
I writea hima letter
anda this is what I say,

Antonio
Don't you think that you can treat me so
because I sharpa da stilletto
till she looka mucha new
and pretty soon the people
walka slow behinda you;
Antonio
don't you think that you can treat me so
I'm gonna givea youa closea shave
so closea that you shakea
handa with the grave,
Antonio
better come back home.

Antonio
Don't you think that you can treat me so
because I go and see the tailor
and the tailor he'sa guess
why I go there and order up
the nicea blacka dress;
Antonio
Don't you think that you can treat me so
I'm gonna cook for you
some macaroni
you eat "Bus. of Kiss"
goodbye
Antonio, Antonio
better come back home.

The minute what he seesa me
he's gonna know I sore,
and then he's gonna runa like
he never run before;
I wrotea hima dozen letters
in the pasta week,
for ev'ry letter what I write
I'm gonna throw a brick;
I lose 'em all the pity
and my heart she turn to stone,
and here's the lasta letter
what I writea to Antone.

Antonio
Don't you think that you can treat me so
because I sharpa da stilletto
till she looka mucha new
and pretty soon the people
walka slow behinda you;
Antonio
don't you think that you can treat me so
I'm gonna givea youa closea shave
so closea that you shakea
handa with the grave,
Antonio
better come back home.

Antonio
Don't you think that you can treat me so
because I go and see the tailor
and the tailor he'sa guess
why I go there and order up
the nicea blacka dress;
Antonio
Don't you think that you can treat me so
I'm gonna cook for you
some macaroni
you eat "Bus. of Kiss"
goodbye
Antonio, Antonio
better come back home.
