Lyrics
The Odeon, the Gaumont, the Roxy and the Ritz
Why don't you join us, for a matinee at the flicks?
The box office opens, the foyer lights shine
The usherette shows us, to the one and nines
Flickering pictures, technicolor dreams
All our Hollywood heroes
Are on the big silver screen
The lights go down, the organ fades
The curtains glide open, and the big movie plays
Flickering pictures, technicolor dreams
All our Hollywood heroes
Are on the big silver screen
We light our cigarettes, they glow in the dark
We watch in wonder, we cry and we laugh
Flickering pictures, technicolor dreams
All our Hollywood heroes
Are on the big silver screen
The movie ends, the organ plays
God Save The King, people drift away.
Flickering pictures, technicolor dreams
All our Hollywood heroes
Are on the big silver screen
The Odeon, the Gaumont, the Roxy and the Ritz.
Why don't you join us, for a matinee at the flicks?
