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 Crossin' 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 and 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 dancin' feet to horses hoofs
 Payton Place to 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 [bad word] Grit and Music Man
 Thunderball and Walking Tall and Jaws and Jesse James
 Doctor No and Vertigo and Singing in the Rain singing in the rain
 Blood and Sand and Santa Fe Dunaway and Gataway 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 Gradute 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 cocoo's nest the movies are the craziest
 I'll be a movie nut until I die
 The movies are great medicine thank you Tommy Edison
 For giving us the best years of our lives (Roy Rogers)
 You gave us the best years of our lives
