Pull up a seat for the late, late show
I fall asleep by the cold blue glow
Eleanor powell winks her eye at me
She moves so easily
Goodnight ladies, goodbye norma jean
Just like real life, just like real life - jump cut

Vivian leigh came and stole my heart
Hepburn looks so smart
Mickey rooney's on his 7th wife
How can I live such a boring life
Goodnight bogie, play that song again
Just like real life, just like real life - jump cut

I say to the screen what am I to do
My life can't compete with you
Nobody had it made the way you did
At least not this dead end kid
Goodbye bobby, see you in my dreams
Just like real life, just like real life - jump cut
Just like real life, just like real life - is it
