Silver Screen

You 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 gotta play the scene
Up on the silver screen

Whoa
It's better in a 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 gotta play the scene
Up on the silver screen
(Yeah, yeah) No matter where you've been
Good times are zooming in

You can dream but no one sleeps
Say a bad word and it bleeps

You can have and eat your cake
Never need a bathroom break

You 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

Your cats are always cool
You never have to go to school

Get ready for your close-up
It's the happy ending rule

(You gotta play the scene)

You gotta play the scene (yeah)
Up on the silver screen (up on the silver screen)
You gotta live dream (no, no, play the scene)
The lights-camera-action thing

'Cause it's better in a movie
When you met her it was groovy

It's where love is always true
When you met him then you knew

You gotta play the scene
(Play the scene)

Up on the silver screen
