Silver Screen

You've gotta play the scene up on the silver screen

You gotta live the dream, the "Lights, camera, action" thing

The water's technicolor blue and the waves don't miss a cue

Not a hair is out of place, every line's a perfect take

You've gotta play the scene up on the silver screen

Whoa

It's better when in the story, always clever, never wordy

You got the part

Whoa

It's better when you wake up, minty breath and perfect makeup

You're a work of art

And no one ever breaks your heart

You've gotta play the scene up on the silver screen

No matter where you've been, good times are zooming in

You can dream and no one sleeps, say a bad word and it bleeps

You can have and eat your cake, never need a bathroom break

You've gotta play the scene up on the silver screen

Whoa

It's better on location 'cause it feels like a vacation

Super fun

Whoa

Bring the feature to the people, if it's good, they'll make a sequel

When we're done

The surf is up under the sun

Hey

The good guy saves the day

The bad guys run away

Everybody dances when the music starts to play

The cats are always cool

Never have to go to school

Get ready for your close up

It's the happy-ending rule

(You gotta play the scene)

You've gotta play the scene up on the silver screen

(Up on the silver screen)

You gotta live the dream, the "Lights, camera, action" thing

'Cause it's better in a movie when you're mad or if it's groovy

Where true love is always true, when you meet him then you knew

You've gotta play the scene (Play the scene)

Up on the silver screen
