Song Lyrics

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 neo-realism
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 nights

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 & 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
