Now who's that babe with the fabulous shadow?
It's only one scene, but to me it don't matter
Her movies get down like you won't find in my hometown (oh no)
They won't believe it when they see what they're seein' (oh no)
Go see baby, now
Pictures on the silver screen
Greatest thing you've ever seen
Now her name is up in lights
Everything turns out all right
Daddy's little sweetie after some damn rainbow (oh, oh)
Got the big deal in the back of a limo (honey)
Now showbiz is so thrillin', the camera rolls she's willin' (oh no)
They won't believe it when they see what they're seein'
Go see baby, now
Hey, you remember when that girl was prom queen?
Oh wow, take it off, take it all off
Pictures on the silver screen
Greatest thing you've ever seen
Now her name is up in lights
Everything turns out all right
Now they believe it, now that they've seen it
Go see baby now
Pictures on the silver screen
Greatest thing you've ever seen
Now her name is up in lights
Everything turns out all right
Lights, camera, action
