Come on along with me
to a little place I know,
come on along with me
where the lights are all aglow.
And if you like Bohemian life,
you ought to go,
because I know,
you will like the bill of fare
They serve down there,
reserve a chair.

Won't you come down to Tony Spagoni's Cabaret
whenever you are feeling lonely;
come down to Tony Spagoni's Cabaret
and hear them eating macaroni.
Drink to the clink of the glasses ringing,
eat while a sweet Margarita is singing.
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh!
Love is in the air, it's ev'rywhere,
those maidens fair
will make you stare;
just kiss them there, they never care,
you'll see the Wop from the shop
where you get your daily shave,
buying wine all the time
with the nickel tips you gave,
won't you come down to Tony Spagoni's Cabaret!

Won't you come down to Tony Spagoni's Cabaret
whenever you are feeling lonely;
come down to Tony Spagoni's Cabaret
and hear them eating macaroni.
Drink to the clink of the glasses ringing,
eat while a sweet Margarita is singing.
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh!
Love is in the air, it's ev'rywhere,
those maidens fair
will make you stare;
just kiss them there, they never care,
And you will see two or three
in the corner playing cards,
they're the Wops with the mops
who manicure the boulevards,
won't you come down to Tony Spagoni's Cabaret!

Come on along with me to Spaghetti Land tonight,
come on along and see,
that you bring your appetite.
Italian dishes are delicious every where,
but I declare
that the meal is real at Tony's Cabaret,
that's why I say:

Won't you come down to Tony Spagoni's Cabaret
whenever you are feeling lonely;
come down to Tony Spagoni's Cabaret
and hear them eating macaroni.
Drink to the clink of the glasses ringing,
eat while a sweet Margarita is singing.
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh!
Love is in the air, it's ev'rywhere,
those maidens fair
will make you stare;
just kiss them there, they never care,
you'll see the Wop from the shop
where you get your daily shave,
buying wine all the time
with the nickel tips you gave,
won't you come down to Tony Spagoni's Cabaret!

Won't you come down to Tony Spagoni's Cabaret
whenever you are feeling lonely;
come down to Tony Spagoni's Cabaret
and hear them eating macaroni.
Drink to the clink of the glasses ringing,
eat while a sweet Margarita is singing.
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh!
Love is in the air, it's ev'rywhere,
those maidens fair
will make you stare;
just kiss them there, they never care,
And you will see two or three
in the corner playing cards,
they're the Wops with the mops
who manicure the boulevards,
won't you come down to Tony Spagoni's Cabaret!
