The Movies


♪♪ The week is done, it’s Friday night
Let’s settle in, let’s dim the lights
and fly away to that special place
where thrilling feats and sheer delight
convene upon the silver screen…
Take me, won’t you?
Take me
to the movies. ♪♪

♪♪ Let’s head out to the open sea
where Brody knows and we agree
they’re gonna need to get that bigger boat;
where comparing scars is repartee
and we hang on every word…
Take me there, let’s find our seats.
Take me, won’t you?
Take me
to the movies. ♪♪

♪♪ Come with me to outer space
where xenomorphs adorn the face
and Ripley buckles in against the airlock;
where Ash betrays the human race
and we watch with bated breath…
Take me, can you? I want to see.
Take me, now,
yes take me
to the movies. ♪♪

♪♪ Let’s have a drink with lonesome Rick
while Sam and Ilsa watch the tick
of time go by in Vichy Casablanca;
while Steiner’s music does the trick
and we dry our teary eyes…
Take me there, sit by my side.
Oh, take me,
won’t you take me
to the movies? ♪♪

♪♪ Let’s sing along with a lion pride,
or fight beside a vengeful Bride,
or take a stroll with a band of friendly Hobbits;
Above the clouds with Superman we’ll fly…
Take me there, and hold my hand
Oh, take me
Won’t you take me
to the movies? ♪♪

♪♪ Let’s step inside a world of dreams
where stories show what we can be
when we dare to share the things that really move us;
where empathy’s the key that sets us free…
Take me there, let’s make believe.
Oh take me,
won’t you take me
to the movies… ♪♪
