Lyrics

Today to get the public to attend a picture show
It's not enough to advertise a famous star they know
If you wanna get the crowds to come around
You gotta have glorious Technicolor
Breathtaking CinemaScope
And stereophonic sound
If Zanuck's latest picture were the good old-fashioned kind
There'd be no one in front to look at Marilyn's behind
If you wanna hear applauding hands resound
You gotta 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 bosom's five feet wide
In glorious Technicolor
Breathtaking CinemaScope
Or Cinerama
VistaVision
SuperScope
Or Todd-AO
And stereophonic sound
And stereophonic sound
You all remember Lassie, that beloved canine 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 anchovy
But the people wouldn't care if I had drowned
Unless I had glorious Technicolor
Breathtaking CinemaScope
And stereophonic sound
If Ava Gardner played Godiva riding on a mare
The people wouldn't pay a cent to see her in the bare
Unless she had glorious Technicolor
Or CineColor
Or Warner Color
Or Pathé Color
Or Eastman Color
Or Kodacolor
Or any color
And stereophonic sound
And stereophonic
Adds extra tonic
Stereophonic sound
