Saturday Night At The Movies Lyrics & Chords By Ray Stevens

We were sittin' in the front row, holding hands
But then she dropped my hand and stared to stare,
at the handsome star and his curly hair.
And when he kissed the girl in the love scene
my baby's eyes were glued to the screen.
I heard a sigh, I knew I was dead,
it made me wished we'd gone bowling instead.
but we spent Saturday night at the movies,
and I hardly even watched the show.
For I only had eyes for my baby,
Because I love her so.
But she forgot I was even alive.
'Cause she was swept off her feet
when the picture began
and I lost my baby to hollywood's leading man.
A when the movie was over I was blue as I could be,
When out in the lobby who should we see?
But the handsome star, he was here .
In person for the world premiere.
Well my girl was so excited, after watching the film,
that she ran with all the other girls to get close to him.
But the onrushing crowd, they caught him by surprise,
and they knocked his toupee down over his eyes.
And I laughed,
and she cried.
And I could tell the foolish infatuation had died.
but we spent Saturday night at the movies,
and I really, I really enjoyed the show.
For my girlfriend learned her lesson,
and now she loves me so.
And whenever we go to the movies.
she always holds tight to my hand
and she lets the men know,
That I'm her leading man.
leading man.
