Take Your Girlie To The Movies 1919

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 02 Feb 2003

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:"

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 picture's 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.

Sweethearts always used to spoon,
in a big morrischair;
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.

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 picture's 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.
