The Movies

(Lew DeWitt)



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, Bountry, 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...
