Kirk McDonald - The Picture Show lyrics

[FRANKIE EPPS, spoken] Well, hey sunshine! [MARY PHAGAN, spoken] Sunshine? Looks like rain to me. [FRANKIE, pulling on her hair ribbon] Not in here, it don't. [MARY] Frankie Epps! Quit that, you hear? [FRANKIE] Oh, what? I ain't doin' anything! (sung) I'm gonna go to the picture show There's a movie I got to see You know the one called “The Silver Gun”— Well, I been watchin' since Chapter Three! I can't wait—it's at eight, But I was wonderin': if you're free... [MARY] Go on, go on, go on, go on, You know my mama'd never let me 'til I turn sixteen Go on, go on, go on, go on, Besides, I only go to pictures that I haven't seen [FRANKIE, spoken] Well, when do you turn sixteen? [MARY, spoken] Two years from next June. [FRANKIE, spoken] Too bad about your Mama. [MARY, spoken] Too bad for you. [FRANKIE, sung] I know a spot near McConnach's lot Where you can see the parade real clear. I got a book—you wanna take a look?— It's called "The Thief and the Brigadier" I got gum—you want some? [MARY] I haven't chewed gum for a year [FRANKIE] Go on, go on, go on, go on, I bet your mama'd let me take you to the picture show [MARY] Go on, go on, go on, go on, I guess you weren't really listenin' when I said "No!" Why not ask Iola Stover? Her mama lets her do whatever she wants [FRANKIE] I was hopin' I could go with you [MARY] Go on, ask Iola Stover— Her mama lets her see whoever she wants [FRANKIE] Well, maybe I will [MARY] I hope you do [MARY stands up as the streetcar lurches to a halt] [FRANKIE, spoken] Hey! Where you goin'? [MARY, spoken] To the factory. I didn't get my pay this week. [FRANKIE] Okay, see you around... [MARY] At the picture show? [FRANKIE] What? I thought your Mama wouldn't let you. [MARY] She will with Essie and Betty Jean. Just not with you! [FRANKIE] Bye, Sunshine! (sung) De de, de de, de de, de de Ska boo ba doo ba deet'n Dut'n doo ba doo doo doo Go on, go on, go on, go on... [HE spots someone in the crowd.] (spoken) Well, Iola! You goin' to the pictures tonight?
