Lyrics

Today to get the public to attend the picture show, It's not enough to advertise a famous star they know, If you want to get the crowds to come around, You've got to have: glorious Technicolor, Breathtaking Cinemascope and stereophonic sound. If folks today could witness Valenteno in the sheik, They never would appreaciate this lover boys technique, If you want to hear appluding hands resound, You've got to have: glorious Technicolor, Breathtaking Cinemascope and stereophonic sound. The customers don't like to see the groom embrace the bride, Unless her lips are scarlet and her mouth is 5 feet wide, In: glorious Technicolor, breathtaking Cinemascope or Cinerama, VistaVision or Superscope or Todd-AO or Stereophonic sound or stereophonic sound. You all remember Lassie, That beloved caine star, To see her wag her tail the crowds would come from near and far, But at present she'd be just another hound, Unless she had: glorious Technicolor, Breathtaking Cinemascope and stereophonic sound. I lately did a picture at the bottom of the sea, I wrestled with an octopus and licked an ancovey, But the public wouldn't care if she had drowned, Unless she had: glorious Technicolor, Breathtaking Cinemascope and stereophonic sound. If Ava Gardner played Godiva ridding on a mare, The people wouldn't pay a cent, They wouldn't even care, Unless she had: glorious Technicolor or Cinecolor or Warnercolor or Metrocolor or Eastmancolor or Kodacolor and any Color and stereophonic sound and stereophonic sound. There was a time when dancing was so intimate and sleek, A fellow hugged his partner as they cuddled cheek-to-cheek, Now he doesn't even know if she's around, Because they're in: glorious Technicolor, Breathtaking Cinemascope and stereophonic sound. It's not enough today to see a dancer at his ease, He's got to throw his back out and come sliding on his knees, He's got to have: glorious Russian belly or Modern belly or English Belly or Chinese belly or Hindu belly or belly belly Or any belly and stereophonic sound and stereophic sound. Stereophonic sound and stereophonic, Has an extra tonic, Stereophonic sound
