We all cried at the ending
We all stayed for the credits
And I kept my ticket as a souvenir

We found our way by the usher's light
To the place outside where we parked the bikes
Underneath a neon sign

Matinee, hey hey, why go late
When the movies are cheaper during the day

We come down about twice a week
To put our feet on the theater seats
Admission's cheap and the soda's free

Well, my best friend's girl works the ticket stand
When the boss is gone, she gets us in
We all see a matinee

Matinee, hey hey, why go late
When the movies are cheaper during the day

We all cried at the ending
We all stayed for the credits
And I kept my ticket as a souvenir
O, my best friend's girl works the ticket stand
When the boss is gone, she gets us in
We all see a matinee

Matinee, hey hey, why go late
When the movies are cheaper during the day

Matinee, hey hey, why go late
When the movies are cheaper during the day
