Josephine, do you ever feel like running away? On a daily basis That's why I sneak off to the movies So that's where you go every time we hit a new town Don't you get blue, sittin' all alone in the dark? I'm never alone when I'm watching movies, Josephine I meet the most interesting characters up on that silver screen Ever since I was ten, it only cost a nickel to change my world In a small town in Georgia, you really had to search For something entertaining to see So the best show in town was every Sunday down in church Surrounded by good people who looked like me Oh, but then one day, a Picture Palace opened For a nickel you could dream there, day and night Ah, but those who looked like me could only use the balcony Like the movies, life could be that black and white But up there, on the screen There was romance And the make-believe would carry me away Because no one I'd ever seen Were like the stars up on the screen At the Old Majestic Nickel Matinee In those movies I saw, things looked different Someone else's world was up there on display For not one vamp or Wall Street wife Held up a mirror to my life At the Old Majestic Nickel Matinee So, I would pretend that it was me up there But, with Mary Pickford playing my maid That I was a star, living life without a care Who never was alone or felt afraid We could never sit with those who sat below us Kept out of sight, but heck, it caused me no dismay Besides, I wasn't thinking of 'em I would rather be above 'em At the Old Majestic Nickel Matinee You're already a star in my book All you need's the camera What's stopping you from just going out there and doing it? Only the world, Josephine A handful of nickels was all I ever had But I believed that something had to change So, up there on the screen, I decided That a young girl just like me would look one day And draped in diamonds and in fur She would see someone just like her And her hopes and dreams would never have to stay At the Old Majestic Nickel Matinee
