Well the couple in the corner have been going at it all night long The man in the back is putting bets out over the phone And I ain't got nowhere to be Ain't nobody waiting at home for me And there's nothing lonelier than midnight at the movies, again There's a girl named Martha who meets me here on Saturday nights She never says too much, she just sits down beside me and puts her hand in mine She's got a gentle way that keeps me from feeling so alone She always shows up late and leaves before the credits roll
And I never watch her leave I just close my eyes and pretend I'm asleep until the second feature begins Midnight at the movies, again So it's half-price, double feature Two and quarter after seven o:clock And there's no smoking, no drinking Get your candies and your red-hots I said, get your candies and your red-hots So shut out the lights and tell those fools down front to take a seat And if you see my Martha, tell her I'm in the corner, and just wake me if I'm asleep
