Only in the Movies
[MOLINA]
Optimistic endings
Passionate romances
Beautifully beefy heroes taking death-defying chances
Only in the movies

[MOLINA/(PRISONERS)]
Decorous Madonnas (Ahh)
Totally compliant (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Challenging a villain bravely both high-busted and defiant (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Only in the movies (Only in the movies)

But marble floors to glide on
And loop-de-loops to ride on
And sultry girls beginning some beguine (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, 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 began to play a little louder (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)

[MOLINA]
And though I knew the difference
I kept on pretending
I was in the movies
But everything changed when I met you
Everything changed 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 steely blue eyes of his, she cried
"Viva la guerra!
Viva la revolucion!
Viva---whatever it is!"
