Allo Darlin' - Woody Allen

in the movie of our lives, would woody allen write the screenplay?

not his best era, but certainly not his worst either

but i wouldn't like to be like diane keaton in manhattan

so cerebral she runs away from any romance

and although you're neurotic and a little paranoid

it doesn't make me annie, it doesn't make you alvy

woody allen couldn't play you, woody allen couldn't play you

i know you'd want him to but, he couldn't play you

if the swedish director ingmar bergman was still with us

what a mastermind but surely he'd have trouble with us

see i wouldn't like to be like bibi andersson in wild strawberries

what a doll she is, but i'm really not that complex

and although we argue, and we have our problems

and sometimes it gets bad, it never gets bergman bad

max von sydow couldn't play you, max von sydow couldn't play you

i know you'd want him to but max von sydow couldn't play you

god, i love this song so much, and their album too.
just got their vinyl record, with the lyrics sleeve.
i'm a fan of both woody allen and ingmar bergman.
and allo darlin' wrote a song about them! how we can't live like movies!?
it's so lovely how they refer to these movies and praise them at the same time.
