Movies Lyrics - The Statler Brothers

There's lots of things in this old world 

Fancy cars and pretty girls 

And somethin' 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 givin' us the best years of our lives 

Citizen Kane, Caine Mutiny, Mutiny on the Bounty 

The Bounty Hunters, the 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' hooves 

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, True Grit and Music Man 

Thunderball and Walking Tall and Jaws and Jesse James 

Doctor No and Vertigo and Singin' in the Rain, Singin' in the Rain 

Blood and Sand and Santa Fe 

Dunaway and Getaway 

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 graduate of Twelve O'Clock High 

The movies are great medicine 

I thank you, Tommy Edison 

For givin' us the best years of our lives 

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest 

The movies are the craziest 

I'll be a movie nut until I die 

The movies are great medicine 

Thank you, Thomas Edison 

For givin' us the best years of our lives 

Roy Rogers 

You gave us the best years of our lives
