Lyrics
SWEET AMARETTO
(WORDS - ERNIE MOTTOLA / MUSIC - PETE VENTOLA & JOE MERULLO)
Amaretto, your sweet taste is still fresh on my lips
You're so smooth when you're goin' down, down, down, down
Sweet Amaretto on the rocks
You do me no harm, you're like a shot right in the arm
Sweet Amaretto on the rocks
Never in my life did I ever consider you
Beer was my life, but now I've got a better view
It's you Amaretto; you're so sweet in yourself
Amaretto, Amaretto, you're top shelf
When I'm feeling down you can give me a lift
Like no other thing in my life
When I'm holding you clenched tightly in my fist
Amaretto everything is alright
Amaretto, your sweet taste is still fresh on my mind
You're so gentle when you're goin' down, down, down, down
Sweet Amaretto on the rocks
You do me no harm, you're like a shot right in the arm
Sweet Amaretto on the rocks
Sweet Amaretto (sweet Amaretto)
Sweet Amaretto (sweet Amaretto)
Sweet Amaretto (sweet Amaretto) I'm in love with you
