Lyrics:
First verse
Beatrice Fairfax gives advice, To anyone in love; That's why Johnny Gray, Wrote to her one day; When I call to love my girl, Her folks are always there; That's why I'm blue, What shall I do? And Beatrice said; never despair:
Chorus
Take your girlie to the movies, If you can't make love at home; There's no little brother there who always squeals, You can say an awful lot in seven reels. Take your lessons at the movies, And have love scenes of your own; When the pictures over and it's time to leave, Don't forget to brush the powder off your sleeve; Take your girlie to the movies, If you can't make love at home. Take your girlie to the movies, If you can't make love at home; Pick a cozy corner where it's nice and dark, Don't catch influenza, kissing in the park. Take your lessons at the movies, And have love scenes of your own; Tho' she's just a simple little ribbon clerk, Close your eyes and think you're kissing Billie Burke; Take your girlie to the movies, If you can't make love at home.
Second verse
Sweethearts always used to spoon, In a big morris chair; Young folks of today, Have a diff'rent way; Far away from cranky dad, And mother's eagle eye; It's lots of fun, Here's how it's done, So come on and give it a try.
(Chorus)
