Lyrics
- Do you like to watch a movie show?
So many men do not
No I never can be a movie fan
Still there’s just one picture which I know
Would please me quite a lot
Won’t you let me know the scenario?
The scene would be a church you see
And you’d be standing there with me
Refrain
I’ve got it planned you understand
It’s simply grand, I take you hand
After that you leave the rest to me
First, up the aisle we go in style
Your sunny smile makes life worth while
For my bride I know you’re soon to be
A moment we linger
While the ring, I put on your finger
Then dear, we start no more to part
That afternoon our honeymoon
That’s the picture that I’d like to see
- I’ve a picture, too, inside my mind
Which I would like to view
Tell me has it go an exciting plot?
Is it the absorbing five-reel kind
They’re all so keen to do
No, it isn’t wild
It’s quite tame and mild
The scene is at a little flat
And we are there I’ve settled that
Refrain
We sit and chat, and nurse the cat
Serenely at our little flat
Dearie, that is what appeals to me
When lights are lit, sometimes I knit
To do my bit, and as is fit
Then I sit upon your darling knee
In tones of deep affection
You read me the sporting section
Then, oh! what bliss to steal a kiss
And bill and coo, just I and you
That’s the picture that I’d like to see
