[Verse 1]
Well the couple in the corner have been going at it all night long
The man in the back is putting bets out over the phone
And I ain't got nowhere to be
Ain't nobody waiting at home for me
And there's nothing lonelier than
Midnight at the movies again

[Verse 2]
There's a girl named Martha
Who meets me here on Saturday nights
She never says too much
She just sits down beside me and puts her hand in mine
She's got a gentle way
That keeps me from feeling so alone
She always shows up late
And leaves before the credits roll
And I never watch her leave
I just close my eyes and pretend I'm asleep until the second feature begins
Midnight at the movies again

[Instrumental break]

[Bridge]
So it's half-price
Double feature
Two and a quarter after seven o'clock
And there's no smoking
No drinking
Get your candies and your red-hots
Saying, "Get your candies and your red-hots"
[Verse 3]
So shut out the lights
And tell those fools down front to take a seat
And if you see my Martha
Tell her I'm in the corner, and just wake me if I'm asleep
