movies were movies - jerry herman lyrics

[mack sennett]
movies were movies when you paid a dime to escape
cheerin’ the hero and hissing the man in the cape
romance and action and thrills
pardner thar’s gold in them hills
movies were movies when during the titles you’d know
you’d get a happy ending

dozens of blundering cops in a thundering chase
getting a bang out of lemon meringue in the face
bandits attacking a train
one little tramp with a cane
movies were movies were movies when i ran the show

movies were movies when pauline was tied to the track
after she trudged through the ice with the babe on her back
girls at the seashore would stand
all in a row in the sand
rolling their stockings an inch and a quarter below
the line of decency

and swanson and keaton and dressler and william s. hart
no one pretended that what we were doing was art
we had some guts and some luck
but we were just makin’ a buck
movies were movies were movies when i ran the show
and swanson and keaton and dressler and william s. hart
no one pretended that what we were doing was art
we had some guts and some luck
but we were just makin’ a buck
movies were movies were movies when i ran the show
