There's lots of things in this old world fancy cars and pretty girls

And something I like more than sunny skies

The grandest thing I've ever seen are pictures on a movie screen

Wolfman you're a fright alright but sure a sight for sore eyes

It's a world of kings and queens up there on that movie screen

It's a picnic Crossin' River Kwai

The movies are great medicine thank you Thomas Edison

For giving us the best years of our lives



Citizen Kane Caine Mutiny Mutiny on the Bounty

The Bounty Hunters and Hunters and the Sting

Thunder Road and Road to Rio Rio Grande and Grand Hotel

Tell them Willie Boy was here with bride of Frankenstein and Shane

I love anything that moves dancin' feet to horses hoofs

Payton Place to Dorothy's trip to Oz

Tom Mix to David Hedison thank you Thomas Edison

For giving us the best years of our lives



I love Captain Blood and Elmer Fudd and Charlie Chan

Ben Ben Hur The Way We Were True Grit and Music Man

Thunderball and Walking Tall and Jaws and Jesse James

Doctor No and Vertigo and Singing in the Rain singing in the rain

Blood and Sand and Santa Fe Dunaway and Gataway Mexicali Rose and Rose Marie

Blackboard Jungle Jungle Jim Jim Thorpe All American

An American In Paris Paris Blues Blue Hawaii

I'm Teacher's Pet on Ship of Fools the movies were my special school

I'm the Gradute of Twelve o'clock High

The movies are great medicine I thank you Tommy Edison

For giving us the best years of our lives

One flew over the cocoo's nest the movies are the craziest

I'll be a movie nut until I die

The movies are great medicine thank you Tommy Edison

For giving us the best years of our lives (Roy Rogers)

You gave us the best years of our lives
