They're All Going To The Movies 1915

A few years ago
there was no such a show
as the movies.
But now it's not so
for the best people go
to the movies.
It used to be fifty and seventy five
and though there is no one to blame
the old moving picture
is now quite a fixture
and that's where the nickel got fame.

They're all goin' into the movies,
the movies,
the movies,
How they rush for that five cent seat.
How they fall for that picture sheet
First the leading man woos her
Then the villain pursues her
they're all goin' in
to the moving picture show.

They're all goin' into the movies,
the movies,
the movies,
How they rush for that five cent seat.
How they fall for that picture sheet
In with tigers they throw her
but those wild beasts seem to know her
they're all goin' in
to the moving picture show.

You'll see heroes die
without winking an eye
at the movies.
The mother goes wild
when they find her lost child
at the movies.
The great William Shakespeare
wrote many a play
but now very seldom they're seen,
for maybe you've guessed
they have more interest
in the perils of "Pretty Pauline!

They're all goin' into the movies,
the movies,
the movies,
How they rush for that five cent seat.
How they fall for that picture sheet
Mid the lightning and thunder
the ship goes down with its plunder
they're all goin' in
to the moving picture show.

They're all goin' into the movies,
the movies,
the movies,
How they rush for that five cent seat.
How they fall for that picture sheet
First the leading man woos her
Then the villain pursues her
they're all goin' in
to the moving picture show.
