Lyrics

Men who make the movies have the right idea
When they put a story on the screen
The story may bring teardrops
But when the end is near
Ev’ryone is happy in the final scene

Chorus
There’s always a happy ending
In ev’ry talking picture you see
Where the boy takes the girl in his arms
Same as you and me
There’s always a tender love song
In ev’ry talking picture they do
Where the boy sings a song to the girl
Like I sing to you
Sometimes they have a quarrel
One breaks the other’s heart
After they’ve had their quarrel
Love plays the same old part
There’s always a happy ending
In ev’ry talking picture you see
Where the boy gets a kiss
And the girl gets a kiss
Just the same as you and me
