It’s a perfect day for a matineenThe rain fallingnIt’s a perfect day for a matineenAnd I’m calling in sicknnSo I can lose myself in a dark roomnWith two old ladies laughing when I donAnd the ushers are watching toonnIt’s a perfect day for a matineenAnd I think I love younIt’s a perfect day for a matineenAnd I’m hoping you love me toonnHoping so hard that I need to escapenAnd calm down my heart to a regular pacenBut I miss your hand on my kneenWhat a wonderful way nnIt’s a perfect day for a matineenAnd I leave the theater, it’s light out, it’s light outnIt’s a perfect day for a matineenAnd I’ll call you later, tell you what the movie was aboutnnAnd you’ll laugh and ask why I went alonenAnd I’ll lie and say I thought everybody’d already seen that onenBut you would have gonenYou would have gonenOh you would have, you would have gonen
