It's a perfect day for a matinee The rain falling It's a perfect day for a matinee And I'm calling in sick So I can lose myself in a dark room With two old ladies laughing when I do And the ushers are watching too It's a perfect day for a matinee And I think I love you It's a perfect day for a matinee And I'm hoping you love me too Hoping so hard that I need to escape And calm down my heart to a regular pace But I miss your hand on my knee
What a wonderful weight It's a perfect day for a matinee And I leave the theater, it's light out, it's light out It's a perfect day for a matinee And I'll call you later, tell you what the movie was about And you'll laugh and ask why I went alone And I'll lie and say I thought everybody'd already seen that one But you would have gone You would have gone Oh you would have, you would have gone
