Lyrics:

Van Dyke ParksShe slid on her dress under that melancholy moonSomethin' to impress him hopin' he would be there soonShe gonna run awayHe got a ChevroletShe wanted Nat King ColeHe got a Jelly RollWhole lotta heart and soulSaphron(?) and a river rat are rappin' at her doorTake her to a picture show she sure ain't seen beforeShe was a debutantGive it just what she wantYou tell her just where to goDown to the drive in showYou be my riverboatMovies is magicReal life is tragicFundamental though it seemsWhen you're livin' in your dreamAnd you wake up it's overMovies is magicReal life is tragicI regret I gotta sayIt is time we get awayTo the movies and magicCowboy dressed like injun popped right off that silver screenScarlet up like a jukebox for a dreamboat Delta QueenRaindroppin' all aroundPut up the top you clownAnd turn on the Nat King ColeOff with the rock and rollTo the movies and magicMovies is (movies is) magic (magic)Movies is magicReal life is tragicAnd as time goes by and byYou will often wonder whyTo the day that you die'Cause movies is magicMovies is magic
