We all cried at the ending
We all stayed for the credits
And i kept my ticket as a souvenir
We found our way by the usher's light
To the place outside where we parked the bikes
Underneath a neon sign
Matinee
Hey hey
Why go late
When the movies are cheaper during the day?
We come down about twice a week
To put our feet on the theatre seats
Admission's cheap & the soda's free
Well, my best friend's girl works the ticketstand
When the boss is gone, she gets us in
We all see a matinee
Matinee
Hey hey
Why go late
When the movies are cheaper during the day?
Mmm
We all cried at the ending
We all stayed for the credits
And i kept my ticket as a souvenir
O, my best friend's girl works the ticketstand
When the boss is gone, she gets us in
We all see a matinee
Matinee
Hey hey
Why go late
When the movie is cheaper during the day?
Matinee
Hey hey
Why go late
When the movies are cheaper during the day?
