Villas of sand
Stella Risa

Well, I was covered up with olives
When I was looking through the trees
I had a sudden urge to follow
I had to get up close to see

You looked just like a million angels
I'm sure you'd taste like Anissette

Stella Risa
I will love you
In villas of sand
I will take you
To faraway lands

I followed you into a cafe
A fellow stopped me at the door
And then he said "Arrivederci,
Don't want to see you here no more!"

I didn't know you were his daughter
I had to get down on my knees

Stella Risa
I will love you
In villas of sand
And I will take you
To faraway

It took a bottle of Chianti
To get the nerve to hold your hand
I barely heard you say "Avanti"
I knew I had to make my stand!

And so I covered you with olives
With red pimientos on the side

Stella Risa
I will love you
In villas of sand
I will take you
To faraway lands

Stella Risa
I will love you
In villas of sand
I will take you
To faraway villas of sand.
