Cooper, Scott and Duke Wayne
Were cowboy heroes of mine,
When going to the movies
Cost me and my girlfriend a dime.
Kelley, Astaire and Dailey
Displayed all their dancing skills,
News reels between double features
Outlined all the world's ills.
Crosby, Sinatra and Como
Sang all the popular tunes
Selected short features helped fill the bill,
Along with Disney cartoons.
Abbott, Costello and Skelton
Made the people Laugh,
Serials continued from week to week
Climaxing in the last half.
Superman, Captain Marvel And Batman,
Were the heroes with strength of steel.
Previews of coming attractions
Were shown at the end of each reel.
These are things I remember,
Back when youth was mine.
When going to the movies
Cost me and my girlfriend a dime.
