Meglio Stasera (It Had Better Be Tonight) (1964)
* Music by Henry Mancini
* Italian lyrics by Franco Migliacci (songwriter)
* English lyrics by Johnny Mercer
** Composed for the original installment of the film series The Pink Panther.
It showcases a young actress named Fran Jeffries, who sings the song while slowly
dancing around a fireplace at a ski lodge where all the principal players of the film are
gathered. The song appears on the soundtrack record album in two versions. One is
an instrumental that resembles the underscore of Fran's rendition. The other is a group
vocal with only vaguely related English lyrics, and it can be heard in the background
during the fancy dress ball / costume party whilst the attempted robbery is taking place.
The original Italian version does not appear on the album.

Sung by: Michael Buble / CD: Call Me Irresponsible (2007)
Chorus: Meglio stasera, Baby go go go

Or as we natives say, "Fa subito!"
Verse 1: If you're ever gonna kiss me, it had better be tonight

While the mandolins are playing, and stars are bright
Verse 2: If you've anything to tell me, it had better be tonight

Or somebody else may tell me, and whisper the words just right

Verse 3: If you’re ever going to hold me, it had better be tonight

(key chg) Or somebody else may hold me, they might make me feel just right
Horn riff/Chorus:
Meglio stasera, Baby go go go

For this poor Americana(o), who knows little of your speech

Be a nice Italiano(a), who starts to teach
Show me how in old Milano, lovers hold each other oh so tight

But I warn you sweet Pisano(a), that it had better be tonight

Or as we natives say, "Fa......su......bi.......to!"

E.g. Italiano = male, italiana = female

Chorus: Meglio stasera, Baby go go go

Verse 1: If you're ever gonna kiss me, it had better be tonight

Verse 2: If you've anything to tell me, it had better be tonight

Chorus: Meglio stasera, Baby go go go

Verse 3: If you’re ever going to hold me, it had better be tonight

Meglio stasera, Baby go go go

For this poor Americana(o), who knows little of your speech

Show me how in old Milano, lovers hold each other oh so tight

Chorus: Meglio stasera, Baby go go go
