Silent Movie

Sitting in a silent movie Intently staring at the screen If you watch them closely You hear exactly what they mean With moves ever colorful In this world of black and white Before intermission The leading lady breaks down and cries The leading man had a hand in it You can read it in the signs It's really no surprise It's all right there in black and white
