Lyrics
But, it didn't run very long And then in 1974 I had the great experience of musicalizing the lives of Mack Sennett and Mabel Normand, the king and queen of silent screen comedy. This show reunited me with Mike Stewart, and Gower Champion, and David Merrick, and gave me three wonderful stars to work with: Robert Preston, and Bernadette Peters, and Lisa Kirk Here's a sampler of Mack & Mabel (sung) Movies were— Sorry kids... when you know it's forevеr, it's very hard... This isn't forever! Moviеs were movies when you paid a dime to escape Cheering the hero and hissing the man in the cape Romance and action and thrills Pardner there's gold in them hills Movies were movies when during the titles you'd know You'd get a happy ending Dozens of blundering cops in a thundering chase Getting a bang out of lemon meringue in the face Bandits attacking a train One little tramp with a cane Movies were movies were movies when I ran the show
