I love the black and white, I love the play of light
The way Contini puts his image through a prism
I feel my body chill, gives me a special thrill
Each time I see that Guido neorealism

I love the dark handsome guys with their skinny little ties
Dressing mod looking out of sight
I love to watch them as they cruise with their pointy leather shoes
Wearing shades in the middle of the night

Whatever Guido does it makes me smile
He is the essence of Italian style
I love the glamorously Latin world
That only Guido can portray

Contini's Cinema Italiano
I love his Cinema Italiano
He makes me feel with Cinema Italiano
My life is real with Cinema Italiano
He is the king of Cinema Italiano

Those scenes I love to see from Guido's POV
There's no one else with his unique director's vision
His angles wide and tight, each moment feels so right
Defines Italian style by only his decision

I love the speedy little cars, the hip coffee bars
The sleek women in Positano
Guido's the ultimate uomo Romano

Contini's Cinema Italiano
I love his Cinema Italiano

Guido, Guido, Guido
Guido, Guido, Guido
Guido, Guido, Guido
Guido, Guido

Dark handsome guys, skinny little ties
Shades in the middle of the night
Speedy little cars, hip coffee bars
Sleek women in Positano

Ecco il re del, Cinema Italiano
Questo o e il, Cinema Italiano
Nella mia anima, nella mia anima
Nella mia anima, Cinema Italiano
Bianco nero, bianco nero
Bianco nero, nero, nero

Cinema Italiano, no
Nella mia anima, Cinema Italiano
Nella mia anima, Cinema Italiano
Contini's Cinema Italiano
