Making Movies
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Making movies on location
In the heat of the sun
It's a groovy occupation
For everyone, everyone, everyone
Action, action, making movies - take one
All the world for nothing
Down to the corner, down to the waterline
You tell 'em once, you tell 'em twice that you wanna write
Making movies
(...)
Oh yeah! You know I'm okay
(...)
Oh yeah!
You kind of watch them for the sideline in the sea
If you know what I mean
(...)
Oh yeah!
You tell 'em once, you tell 'em twice you wanna go
Making movies
(...)
Oh yeah! If you know what I mean
(...)
Oh yeah!
Want some action, making movies
hold it, hold it
take a break, take a break
(...)
It's a tricky operation
