Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well, Saturday night at 8 o'clock

I know where I'm gonna go

I'm a-gonna pick my baby up

And take her to the picture show

Everybody in the neighborhood

Is dressing up to be there too

And we're gonna have a ball

Just like we always do

[Chorus]

Saturday night at the movies

Who cares what picture you see?

When you're hugging with your baby

Last row in the balcony

[Verse 2]

Well, there's Technicolor and Cinemascope

A cast out of Hollywood

And the popcorn from the candy stand

Makes it all seem twice as good

There's always lots of pretty girls

With figures they don't try to hide

But they never can compare

To the girl sitting by my side

[Chorus]

Saturday night at the movies

Who cares what picture you see?

When you're hugging with your baby

Last row in the balcony

[Instrumental]

Oh, Saturday night at the movies

Who cares what picture you see?

When you're hugging with your baby

Last row in the balcony

Woah, Saturday night at the movies

Who cares what picture you see?

When you're hugging with your baby

Last row in the balcony

Yeah, Saturday night at the movies

Who cares what picture you see?
