We Love A Movie

(album: Wonderful Life - 1964)

We've seen it all, we've seen it all
Like the heroine who's fated to fall
For the guy in the sky with a plane to test
Yes, I like that one best

We've seen a lot, we've seen a lot
Like the athlete who gives all he's got
So his pace, wins the race
And the girl is his

Oh, how thrilling it is
In the dark sitting there
What thrills they all can bring
Judy Garland or Fred Astair
This cinema is a magic thing

We all gasp as the murderer's grasp
Tightens fast 'round the heroine's wrist
Hear out cheers as hero appears
When the girl can no longer resist

We've so thrilled as the villain gets killed
It's the proper reward for his crime
For it's a movie, yeah, we love a movie
Give us a movie every time

We shout “No” when the star of the show
Leaves them flat on the opening day
We guess all from the chorus back row
Comes the kid who knows all of the play

What romance, see her sing, see her dance
She's the star who's beginning to climb
For it's a movie, yeah, we love a movie
Give us a movie every time

Though it may not be witty
It may not be smart
But I'll tell you what it's got
It's got heart, heart, heart

Through the years, oh what laughter and tears
We find nothing on earth so sublime
As a movie, yeah, we love a movie
Give us a movie every time

So we'll go to that wonderful show
Where we know that our world is sublime
For it's a movie, yeah, we love a movie
Give us a movie every time
