Movies Is Magic Lyrics - Brian Wilson

She slid on her dress under that melancholy moon 

Somethin' to impress him hopin' he would be there soon 

She gonna run away 

He got a Chevrolet 

She wanted Nat King Cole 

He got a jelly roll 

Whole lotta heart and soul 

Saphron(?) and a river rat are rappin' at her door 

Take her to a picture show she sure ain't seen before 

She was a debutant 

Give it just what she want 

You tell her just where to go 

Down to the drive in show 

You be my riverboat

Movies is magic 

Real life is tragic 

Fundamental though it seems 

When you're livin' in your dream 

And you wake up it's over 

Movies is magic 

Real life is tragic 

I regret I gotta say 

It is time we get away 

To the movies and magic 

Cowboy dressed like injun popped right off that silver screen 

Scarlet up like a jukebox for a dreamboat delta queen 

Raindroppin' all around 

Put up the top you clown 

And turn on the Nat King Cole 

Off with the rock and roll 

To the movies and magic

Movies is (movies is) magic (magic) 

Movies is magic 

Real life is tragic 

And as time goes by and by 

You will often wonder why 

To the day that you die 

'Cause movies is magic 

Movies is magic
