Grace: Cowboy heroes,
Cops and robbers,
Glamour and strife,
Bigger than life!
Sitting in the darkness,
What a world to see!
Let's go to the movies,
Annie, wait and see

Bette Davis is probably lying,
And Greta Garbo is probably crying,
While Robert Taylor
Is locked in her dying embrace
Chico and Groucho
And Chaplin and Lloyd
Are all super
Sweet Mickey Mouse,
Shirley Temple,
And dear Jackie Cooper

Annie: Let's go to the movies

Both: Let's go see the stars

Grace: Fred and Ginger
Spinning madly
(Instrumental break)
Anything you
Can imagine
Songs and romance
Life is the dance
Sitting in the darkness,
Popcorn on your knee!
Give the maid the night off!

Warbucks: Turn the kitchen light off!

Grace and Warbucks: Let's go to the movies,
Annie, you and me!

Ushers: Welcome to the movies!
Welcome to the stars!
Welcome to this
Grand illusion
All of it's yours
Right through these doors!
Every plot's a dilly,
This we guarantee!
Welcome to the movies
Wait and see

Female chorus: Let's go to the movies (see the movies)
Let's go see the stars
Red lights holler
Deep Depression
What do we care?
Movies are there!
Only happy endings (boy gets girl, yes)
That's our recipe!
Welcome to a lovely
M-O-V-I-E!

Male chorus: Let's go to the movies

Cast of thousands,
Bigger than life
Bigger than life!
Only happy endings
That's our recipe
So, welcome
To the movies
Wait
And
See!
