"Only In The Movies" lyrics

Optimistic endings
Passionate romances
Beautifully beefy heroes
Taking death defying chances
Only in the movies

Decorous Madonnas (Ah)
Totally compliant (Ah)
Challenging the villain bravely
Both high-busted and defiant (Ah)
Only in the movies (Only in the movies)

But marble floors to glide on
And loop the loops to ride on
And sultry girls beginning some beguine (Ah)
I found, as I grew older
And life became much colder
Were, to my sorrow, nowhere to be seen

And so, I sprayed a little perfume (Sprayed a little perfume)
Dabbed a little powder (Dabbed a little powder)
And suddenly the muted strings (Ah)
Began to play a little louder (Ah)
And though I knew the difference
I kept on pretending I was in the movies

But everything changed when I met you
You've changed my life somehow
Everything changed when I met you
I find I walk in Technicolor now

And as this princess lay dying
She raised her lovely head
And as her lover knelt beside her
This is what she said
Looking into those tender brown eyes of his, she cried
"Viva la guerra"
"Viva la revolución"
"Viva whatever it is"

Her name was Molina
Her name was Molina
Her name was Molina!
