The Statler Brothers – Movies lyrics

(Lew DeWitt)

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, The 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
True 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 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 a Graduate 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 Cuckoo'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...
