The Melrose Avenue Cinema Two

The last day of school was the first of June

Me and Bobby watched the clock all afternoon

Waitin' for the bell and Mrs. Greer

To say, "Have a good summer, see you next year"

That night I couldn't sleep 'cause the very next day

They started up the summertime matinees

With a different movie every afternoon

At the Melrose Avenue Cinema Two

Me and Bobby rode rockets into outer space

We drove Daytona and we won the race

We shot a lotta bull and some bad guys too

At the Melrose Avenue Cinema Two

The Melrose Avenue Cinema Two

Well, the years went by and the price went up

From a couple of quarters to a couple of bucks

Bobby and his family moved away

So I found my little girl to take his place

Me and Betty saw our share of love scenes

We even saw a couple on the movie screen

John Wayne won the lady and I did too

At the Melrose Avenue Cinema Two

The Melrose Avenue Cinema Two

Now the Melrose Avenue Cinema Two

Is a second hand store called 'Nothin' New'

All that's left of the old marquee

Is some broken glass and one crooked 'T'

And I watch old movies on a new TV

With Betty on the couch sittin' next to me

We still hold hands like we used to do

At the Melrose Avenue Cinema Two

The Melrose Avenue Cinema Two

The Melrose Avenue Cinema Two

Yes, we do
