My Husband Makes Movies Lyrics

[REPORTERS]
Not since Charlie Chaplin
Has there ever been a film director like this

[FIRST REPORTER, spoken]
Mrs. Contini, is there any truth to the rumor that your marriage is in jeopardy?

[LUISA, spoken]
None whatsoever

[REPORTERS]
Everything he does
Gets world attention

[SECOND REPORTER, spoken]
What about your husband's friendship with Carla Albanese?

[LUISA, spoken]
My husband has many friends

[THIRD REPORTER, spoken]
When was the last time he saw Claudia Nardi?

[LUISA, spoken]
I have no idea

[THIRD REPORTER, spoken]
Three years ago in Maiorca

[LUISA, spoken]
That was gossip

[FIRST REPORTER, spoken]
But compromising photographs were published in Il Giorno

[LUISA, spoken]
They were composites. He won a lawsuit in that case

[FIRST REPORTER, spoken]
But in the public mind–

[LUISA, spoken]
Oh, please. When will you understand?

(sung)
My husband makes movies
To make them he lives a kind of dream
In which his actions aren't always what they seem
He may be on to some unique romantic theme

Some men catch fish
Some men tie flies
Some earn their living baking bread
My husband, he goes a little crazy
Making movies instead

My husband spins fantasies
He lives them, then gives them to you all
When he was working on the film on ancient Rome
He made the slave girls take the gladiators home

Some men buy stocks
Some men punch clocks
Some leap where others fear to tread
My husband, as author and director
Makes up stories in his head

Guido Contini, Luisa Contini
Number one genius and number one fan
Guido Contini, Luisa Contini
Daughter of well-to-do Florentine clan
Long ago
Twenty years ago
Once the names were
Guido Contini, Luisa Del Forno
Actress with dreams and a life of her own
Passionate, wild, and in love in Livorno
Singing with Guido all night on the phone
Long ago
Someone else ago
How he needs me so
And he'll be the last to know it

My husband makes movies
To make them, he makes himself obsessed
He goes for weeks on end without a bit of rest
No other way can he achieve his level best
Some men read books
Some shine their shoes
Some retire early when they've seen the evening news
My husband only rarely comes to bed
My husband makes movies instead

My husband
Makes movies...

[FIRST REPORTER, spoken]
Thank you very much, Mrs. Contini
