lyrics

Mussolini's wife was
A pistol and a whip
Destroying proof of her
Former marriages
In an effort to be the
Model fascist wife
Not just any housewife! —Mussolini's wife

Mussolini's wife
Mussolini's wife
Mussolini's wife
Mussolini's wife

Ate in her restaurant in Predappio what a trip
Just like the Olive Garden —except you don't leave a tip
They give the orders: you must eat, and then they make you pay
Extremely filling, barely palatable; their forte

Mussolini's wife
Mussolini's wife
Mussolini's wife
Mussolini's wife

Her sons will kick below the belt and tattle like boy-scouts
Italian fashion plates, they say that sportsmanship is out
Just like the first sportscast in Berlin, 1936
Same old reruns on today, as if the record skipped
