Charles Strouse - Let's Go To The Movies lyrics

Grace: (spoken) C'mon, Annie, let's go to the movies! Annie: (spoken) Let's go see the stars! Grace: 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 Annie: Let's go to the movies... Annie and Grace: Let's go see the stars! Grace: 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! Warbucks: (spoken) Turn the kitchen light off! Grace and Warbucks: Let's go to the movies Annie, you and me! Ushers: Welcome to the movies! Welcome to the stars! Welcome to this Grand illusion All of it's yours Right through these doors! Every plot's a dilly This we guarantee! Welcome to the movies Wait and see Female Chorus: Let's go to the movies (See the movies) Let's go see the stars Red lights holler Big Depression What do we care? Movies are there! Only happy endings (Boy gets girl, yes) That's our recipe! Welcome to a lovely M-O-V-I-E! Male Chorus: Let's go to the movies (We love to go, to RKO, Columbia, Universal) Let's go see the stars (Jack Warner and, Sam Goldwyn and, MGM and Paramount) Both: 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!
