[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! Antonio!
He's gone away
Left me alone-e-o
All on my own-e-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
Then 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]
Oh! Oh! Antonio!
He's gone away
Left me alone-e-o
All on my own-e-o
I want to meet him with his new sweetheart
Then up will go Antonio and his ice cream cart
Oh! Oh! Antonio!
He's gone away
Left me alone-e-o
All on my own-e-o
I want to meet him with his new sweetheart
Then up will go Antonio and his ice cream cart
