Låttexter: Brian Wilson. Movies is Magic.

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

[Incomprehensible] 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

Rain droppin' 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 magic
(Movies is magic)

Movies is magic
(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
