The Picture Show

Well, hey sunshine!
Sunshine? Looks like rain to me
(pulling on her hair ribbon)
Not in here, it don't
Frankie Epps! Quit that, you hear?

Oh, what? I ain't doin' anything!
I'm gonna go to the picture show
There's a movie I got to see
You know the one called "The Silver Gun"
Well, I been watching since Chapter Three!
I can't wait - It's at eight
And I was wondering: if you're free.

Go on, go on, go on, go on
You know my mama'd never let me till I turn sixteen
Go on, go on, go on, go on
Besides, I only go to pictures that I haven't seen.

Well, when do you turn sixteen?
Two years from next June
Too bad about your Mama
Too bad for you.

I know a spot near McConnach's lot
Where you can see the parade real clear
I got a book - you wanna take a look?
It's called "The Thief and the Brigadier"
I got gum you want some?

I haven't chewed gum for a year
Go on, go on, go on, go on
I bet your mama'd let me take you to the picture show.

Go on, go on, go on, go on
I guess you weren't really listenin' when I said "No!"
Why not ask Iola Stover?
Her mama lets her do whatever she wants.

I was hopin' I could go with you
Go on, ask Iola Stover
Her mama lets her see whoever she wants
Well, maybe I will
I hope you do
Hey, where you goin'?
To the factory. I didn't get my pay this week
Okay. See you around
At the picture show
What? I thought your Mama wouldn't let you
She will with Essie and Betty Jean. Just not with you!
Bye, Sunshine!
Dee-dee, dee-dee, dee-dee, dee-dee
Go on, go on, go on, go on.
Well, Iola! You goin' to the pictures tonight?
