Testo Tonight

it was yesterday, when she called me – she called me up for a date
and this is what she told me: – "we meet exactly at eight!"
people let me tell you the truth now: – today i feel so fine!
but what i have to do now – is to be there right in time.

tonight i have a date – tonight i have a date
tonight i have a date – and she told me not to be late
so what i do, i go downtown – that's where i meet my friend
he says: “forget that woman! – i take you to calypso-land!”
he's taking me to a disco – and i'm sure to stop before eight.
but after all the calypso – it is ten and i am late!

tonight i had a date – tonight i had a date
tonight i had a date – and she told me not to be late
