Cowboy heroes, cops and robbers
Glamour and strife bigger than life
Sitting in the darkness, what a world to see
Let's go to the movies, Annie, wait and see

Betty Davis is probably lying and Greta Garbo is probably crying
While Robert Taylor is locked in her dying embrace
Chico and Groucho and Chaplin and Lloyd are all super
Sweet Mickey Mouse, Shirley Temple and dear Jackie Cooper

Let's go to the movies
Let's go see the stars

Fred and Ginger, spinning madly
Songs and romance, life is the dance
Sitting in the darkness, popcorn on your knee
Give the maid the night off, turn the kitchen light off

Let's go to the movies
Annie, you and me

Let's go to the movies
Let's go see the stars
Red lights holler deep depression
What do we care? Movies are there

Only happy endings that's our recipe
Welcome to a lovely M O V I E

We love to go to RKO, Columbia Universal
Jack Warner and Fred Goldwyn and MGMs and Paramount
Dreams of glory, cast of thousands
Bigger than life, bigger than life

Only happy endings that's our recipe
So, welcome to the movies wait and see
