Silver screen

You've gotta play the scene
Up on the silver screen
You gotta live the dream
The lights, camera, action thing

The water's technicolor blue
And the waves don't miss a cue
Not a hair is out of place
Every line's a perfect take

You've gotta play the scene
Up on the silver screen

Whoa, it's better in the story
Always clever, never wordy you got the part
Whoa, it's better when you wake up
Minty breath and perfect makeup you're a work of art
And no one ever breaks your heart

You've gotta play the scene
Up on the silver screen
No matter where you've been
Good times are zooming in

You can dream and no one sleeps
Say a bad word and it bleeps
You can have and eat your cake
Never need a bathroom break

You've gotta play the scene
Up on the silver screen

Whoa, it's better on location
'Cause it feels like a vacation, super fun
Whoa, bring the feature to the people
If it's good, they'll make a sequel when we're done
The surf is up under the sun

Hey
The good guy saves the day
The bad guys run away
Everybody dances when the music starts to play

The cats are always cool
Never have to go to school
Get ready for your closeup
It's the happy ending rule
You gotta play the scene

You've gotta play the scene
Up on the silver screen
You gotta live the dream
The lights, camera, action thing

'Cause it's better in a movie
When you're mad or if it's groovy
Where true love is always true
When you met him, then you knew

You've gotta play the scene
Up on the silver screen
