Groovy Movies
The Kinks · Other Songs - The Kinks
Searching for acceptance in this big, wide world
Sometimes I think I won't make it
Playing in a rock 'n' roll band
Sometimes I wanna be a picture director
And try to make the world understand
By making groovy movies
By making groovy movies
By making groovy movies
All the movie makers of the world would be
Falling over backwards to have dinner with me.
I'll go down to [unverified]
Anytime I feel like a game[unverified]
Or take a long vacation to San Tropez
And think of all the money I made
By making groovy movies
By making groovy movies
By making groovy movies
I don't want to be a producer
I don't want to be a big star.
I just want to be a picture director
And smoke a big Havana cigar
By making groovy movies
By making groovy movies
By making groovy movies
By making groovy movies
By making groovy movies
By making groovy movies
