The lyrics:
Verse 1
Hurry up, hurry up, buy your ticket now,
Hurry up, hurry, up, better come somehow;
Ev’rybody’s going, all tiptoeing,
To the picture show.
Come along, come along, with a smiling face,
Come along, come along, to the happy place
Where the picture reelers, fun revealers,
A-flickering go.
CHORUS
At the picture show,
At the picture show,
Come and see the villain gay
Steal the hero’s girl away;
Or ponies racing,
Just see them chasing
At the picture show.
Owned by Marcus Loew,
Come on, you’re just in time,
To see the latest crime,
All for a single dime,
At the picture show.
Verse 2
Better run, better run, don’t you miss the show;
Ev’ryone, ev’ryone has a thrill you know;
Lovers that you see, too, love as we do,
At the picture show,
Come along, come along, to a world of fun;
Come along, come along, where the films, each one,
With the things revealing, they go reeling,
Love fonder will grow.
Repeat CHORUS
