Come on Skeezix, ya gotta get up, it's time to go!
They got Randolph Scott down at the picture show.
It's a double feature, put some gum in your purse.
Get a move on, you know we want to get there first...

Hope you aired up your bike before you went to bed.
And wear your braces, you heard what your mother said.
She wants them teeth lined up all in a row when you smile.
To afford them for you they had to go that extra mile...
-------------------------------
Now come on Skeezix, get up, we'll miss the matinee!
All the gang will be there like they are every Saturday.
We'll sit in the balcony holding hands like we always do.
It surely is exciting, going to the movie show with you...
_____________________
Come on Skeezix, one day we're gonna wake up and be old!
That's when we'll know that time is as precious as gold.
My mom says that her days don't last as long anymore.
I never see her buy penny candy down at the general store...
_____________
So get up Skeezix, rise and shine and get yourself dressed
Make your bed later, wow, your room surely is in a mess!
I've got a quarter, it's enough to get us in. Come on!
Let's hurry up before all the balcony seats are gone...
