The Maxes: Music/Lyrics

Silent Movie

(The Maxes)

Josh Max

This song appears in "Funny Valentine", a feature film starring former Brat Packer Anthony Michael Hall.

She works at the coffee shop on second avenue
I pass by always stop
Just to catch the view

Through the window I can see
She's pouring coffee
She's pouring tea
Her lips move
I don't hear
But words aren't needed here

At the silent movie

She's not too thin
She's not too tall
Like the girls of the silent screen
She's an actress
She's on call
And every day she plays my favorite scene

Goes like this---
She works the beat
Outside the window
I feel heat
For a moment, then I go
Tomorrow the same time
The same show

At the silent movie

I'm a screwball comic
She's a drama queen
Her gestures tell you what they mean
Rolls her eyes as she puts down a cup
She pours it on
And I drink it up

Douglas Fairbanks never knew
This window that I'm lookin' through
Maybe new romance would happen
If I tip my hat like Charlie Chaplin

But for now it's a kick
To pass the window and watch the flick
Tryin' hard not to stare
At this angel with a bagel and eclair

At the silent movie
Ain't she sweet?
Yes, sir, that's my baby
