Yep - the entire lyrics, filled with movie references:
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 crossing River Kwai
The movies are great medicine,
Thank you Thomas Edison,
For giving us the best years of our lives.
Citizen Kane, Caine Mutiny
Mutiny on the Bounty,
The Bounty Hunters, The 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
Dancing feet to horses' hooves
Peyton Place and 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
Dr. No and Vertigo and Singin' in the Rain
Singin' in the Rain...
Blood and Sand and Santa Fe
Dunaway and Getaway
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 Graduate 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 Cuckoo's Nest
The movies are the craziest
I'll be a movie nut until I die
The movies are great medicine
Thank you Thomas Edison
For giving us the best years of our lives (Roy Rogers)
You gave us the best years of our lives
