Well, hey sunshine
Sunshine? Looks like rain to me
Not from here it don't
Why, Frankie Epps, quit that, ya hear?
What, I ain't doin' anything!
I'm gonna go to the picture show
There's a movie I got to see
You know the one called "The Silver Gun"
Well, I've been watching since chapter three
I can't wait, it's at eight
And I was wonderin' if you're free!
Go on, go on, go on, go on
You know my mom would never let me 'til I turn sixteen
Go on, go on, go on, go on
Besides I only go to pictures that I haven't seen!
Well, when do you turn sixteen?
Two years from next June!
It's too bad about your mama
Too bad for you!
I know a spot near McConnick's slot
Where you can see the parade real clear!
I got a book, you wanna take a look?
It's called "The Thief and the Brigadier"!
I've got gum, you want some?
I haven't chewed gum for a year!
Go on, go on, go on, go on
I bet your Mama'd let me take you to the picture show!
Go on, go on, go on, go on
I guess you weren't really listenin' when I said no!
Why not ask Iola Stover?
Her mama lets her do whatever she wants!
I was hoping I could go with you!
Go on, ask Iola Stover
Her mama lets her see whoever she wants!
Well, maybe I will!
I hope you do!
Where ya goin'?
To the factory, I didn't get my pay this week
Okay, I'll see ya around
At the picture show?
What? I thought your mama wouldn't let ya!
She will with Essie and Betty Jean
Just not with you!
Bye, sunshine!

Go on, go on, go on, go on
Why, Iola!
