When I used to be a little kid, I used to go
Every Saturday afternoon to the picture show
Close up to the screen,
my life was so serene I lived through every scene with my movie queen
Betty Grable
Three hundred howling kids would always pack the house
But they just came for Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse
But there would be a world of fantasy wrapped in the melody
She sang and danced for me,
Betty Grable
Lots and lots of pin-up shots, I had them all
And there they were, pasted up
upon the
wall When Mama said that it was time for bed
I'd eat some jam and bread and watch her overhead
Betty Grable
Just the other night I saw her on some late,
late show
And it occurred to me I'm someone that she'll never know
So I wrote this little song for the lady that I've loved so long
Betty Grable
When I used to be a little kid, I used to go
Every Saturday afternoon to the picture
