You ought
to be in pictures,
you're wonderful to see
You ought to be in pic tures,
oh, what a hit you would be
Your voice would thrill a nation,
your face would be a door
You'd make a great sensation
with wealth and fame, your reward
An d if you should kiss the way
you kiss when we are all alone
You'd make every girl
and man a fan
Worshipping at your throne
You ought to shine so brightly
As Jupiter or Mars
You ought to be in pictures,
my star, oh, star.
As I look at you,
a thought goes through my mind,
through my mind,
How you look up on the screen
I'm so glad to have you right
here by my side
Satisfied to lend you to
the public to be seen
You ought to be in pictures,
you're wonderful to see
You ought to be in pictures,
you're wonderful to see
Ba -do -da -da -da,
ba -do -da -da -da
Your voice a thrill -a -nation
You'd be a parade by yourself
You'd make a great sensation
I'd be willing to watch
the clock on the shelf
to see you shine
Right there,
right around the fancy car
Oh, it'd cost a reputation
My one ambition is to see you in pictures
Bumpin' and a -dee,
what a dainty picture.
