Parade - The Picture Show lyrics

rate me

FRANKIE: Well hey sunshine!<br />

MARY: Sunshine? Looks like rain to me<br />

FRANKIE: Not in here it don't.<br />

MARY: Why Frankie Epps, quit that, you hear?<br />

FRANKIE: What? I ain't doin' anything!<br />

<br />

I'm gonna go to the picture show<br />

There's a movie I've got to see<br />

You know the one, called "The Silver Gun"<br />

Well, I been watchin' since Chapter Three<br />

I can't wait, it's at eight<br />

But I was wonderin' if you're free<br />

<br />

MARY:<br />

Go on, go on, go on, go on<br />

You know my mama'd never let me till I turn sixteen<br />

Go on, go on, go on, go on<br />

Besides I only go to pictures that I haven't seen<br />

<br />

FRANKIE: Well when do you turn sixteen?<br />

MARY: Two years from next June.<br />

FRANKIE: Too bad about your mama...<br />

MARY: Too bad for you!<br />

<br />

FRANKIE:<br />

I know a spot near McConnach's lot<br />

Where you can see the parade real clear<br />

I got a book, you wanna take a look?<br />

It's called "The Theif and the Brigadier"<br />

I got gum, you want some?<br />

<br />

MARY:<br />

I haven't chewed gum fer a year!<br />

<br />

FRANKIE:<br />

Go on, go on, go on, go on<br />

I bet your mama'd let me take you to the picture show<br />

<br />

MARY:<br />

Go on, go on, go on, go on<br />

I guess you weren't really listening when I said "No!"<br />

<br />

Why not ask Iola Stover<br />

Her mama lets her do whatever she wants<br />

<br />

FRANKIE:<br />

I was hopin' I could go with you<br />

<br />

MARY:<br />

Go on ask Iola Stover<br />

Her mama lets her see whoever she wants<br />

<br />

FRANKIE:<br />

Well, maybe I will<br />

<br />

MARY:<br />

I hope you do<br />

<br />

FRANKIE: Hey, Where you goin'?<br />

MARY: To the factory, I didn't get my pay this week<br />

FRANKIE: Okay. I'll see you around.<br />

MARY: At the picture show<br />

FRANKIE: What? I thought your mama wouldn't let you.<br />

MARY: She will with Essie and Betty-Jean. Just not with you.<br />

FRANKIE: Bye sunshine!<br />

De de de de de de de de de de<br />

Go on, go on, go on, go on...<br />

<br />

Well, Iola! You goin' to the pictures tonight?
