Oh! Oh! Antonio (4:06 min)
Words and Music by C W Murphy and Dan Lipton
As sung by Florrie Forde (Australia) - 1908
(Verse 1)
In quaint native dress an Italian maid
Was deep in distress as the streets she strayed
Searching in every part for her false sweetheart
And his ice-cream cart
Her English was bad
It cannot be denied
And so to herself
In Italian she cried
(Chorus)
Oh! Oh! oh Antonio, he's gone away
Left me alone-ee-o, all on my own-ee-o
I want to meet him with his new sweetheart
Then up will go Antonio and his ice-cream cart
(Verse 2)
So sad grew the plight of this fair young lass
She'd faint at the sight of an ice-cream glass
She dreamed nigh every day he'd come back to stay
But he'd fade away.
Her old hurdy-gurdy
All day she'd parade
And this she would sing to
Each tune that it played
(Chorus)
(Verse 3)
She sought in despair for Antonio
And looked every where that she thought he’d go
Soon she to pine began as each face she’d scan
For her ice cream man.
She faded away
But they say in the streets
In Italian repeats:
(Chorus)
Play off
