Take Your Girlie To The Movies (If You Can't Make Love At Home)
Composer(s): Bert Kalmar - Edgar Leslie
Performer(s): Dean Martin



Beatrice Fairfax gives advice
To anyone in love
That's why Johnny Gray
Wrote to her one day
'When I call to love my girl 
Her folks are always there
That's why I'm blue
What shall I do?" 
And Beatrice said, "never despair"

Sweethearts always used to spoon
In a big morris chair
Young folks of today
Have a different way 
Far away from cranky dad
And mother's eagle eye 
It's lots of fun
Here's how it's done 
So come on and give it a try

Take your girlie to the movies 
If you can't make love at home
There's not little brother there who always squeals 
You can say an awful lot in the seven reels 
Take your lessons at the movies 
And have love scenes of your own 
When the pictures over and it's time to leave 
Don't forget to brush the powder off your sleeve 
Take your girlie to the movies
If you can't make love at home

Take your girlie to the movies
If you can't make love at home
Pick a cozy corner where it's nice and dark 
Don't catch influenza, kissing in the park 
Take your lessons at the movies
And have love scenes of your own
Tho she's just a simple little ribbon clerk 
Close your eyes and think you're kissing Billie Burke
Take your girlie to the movies
If you can't make love at home
