jason robert brown - the picture show lyrics
[frankie epps, spoken]
well, hey sunshine!
[mary phagan, spoken]
sunshine? looks like rain to me
[frankie, pulling on her hair ribbon]
not in here, it don’t
[mary]
frankie epps! quit that, you hear?
[frankie]
oh, what? i ain’t doin’ anything!
(sung)
i’m gonna go to the picture show
there’s a movie i got to see
you know the one called “the silver gun”—
well, i been watchin’ since chapter three!
i can’t wait—it’s at eight
but i was wonderin’: if you’re free…
[mary]
go on, go on, go on, go on
you know my mama’d never let me ’til i turn sixteen
go on, go on, go on, go on
besides, i only go to pictures that i haven’t seen
[frankie, spoken]
well, when do you turn sixteen?
[mary, spoken]
two years from next june
[frankie, spoken]
too bad about your mama
[mary, spoken]
too bad for you
[frankie, sung]
i know a spot near mcconnach’s lot
where you can see the parade real clear
i got a book—you wanna take a look?—
it’s called “the thief and the brigadier”
i got gum—you want some?
[mary]
i haven’t chewed gum for a year
[frankie]
go on, go on, go on, go on
i bet your mama’d let me take you to the picture show
[mary]
go on, go on, go on, go on
i guess you weren’t really listenin’ when i said “no!”
why not ask iola stover?
her mama lets her do whatever she wants
[frankie]
i was hopin’ i could go with you
[mary]
go on, ask iola stover—
her mama lets her see whoever she wants
[frankie]
well, maybe i will
[mary]
i hope you do
[mary stands up as the streetcar lurches to a halt]
[frankie, spoken]
hey! where you goin’?
[mary, spoken]
to the factory. i didn’t get my pay this week
[frankie]
okay, see you around…
[mary]
at the picture show?
[frankie]
what? i thought your mama wouldn’t let you
[mary]
she will with essie and betty jean. just not with you!
[frankie]
bye, sunshine!
(sung)
de de, de de, de de, de de
ska boo ba doo ba deet’n
dut’n doo ba doo doo doo
go on, go on, go on, go on…
[he spots someone in the crowd.]
(spoken)
well, iola! you goin’ to the pictures tonight?
