Laroo laroo lilli bolero, laroo laroo lilli bolero . . . That's a magic sayin' That I heard one day in Napoli; When a fortune teller In a dim lit cellar said to me . . . "You say laroo lilli bolero; And just like that, Quick as an arrow! You'll find the girl who's meant for you." And sure enough it all came true, Laroo laroo lilli bolero! When a fortune teller In a dim lit cellar said to me . . . "You say laroo lilli bolero; And just like that, Quick as an arrow! You'll find the girl who's meant for you." And sure enough it all came true, Laroo laroo lilli bolero! Laroo laroo . . . lilli bolero! Music by Sydney Lippman with lyrics by Sylvia Dee and Elizabeth Evelyn Moore 1948
