I’m gonna go out to the movies
(In the long line we will wait)
Buy some overpriced soda and popcorn
Which flick should I go see?
(Let the movie roll)
(let the previews roll)

I could see that drama that’s won awards
Or the foreign black and white with subtitles
But for eight bucks or more
I might as well go
With something I’ve already seen twice before!

Matrix, Rush Hour, Spider-Man
Thanks for the trilogies
Even if they weren’t so great
We will see them in the theatre
If once was good three times is great
Thanks for the trilogies. Thanks for the trilogies
And We will see them in the theatres
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

Like watching Back to the Future
Or Pirates of the Caribbean (or Jurassic Park)
By the third installment
It has turned a franchise.
(franchise)
When you look into the past
(look into the past)
Maybe they should have stopped at two
(Or maybe one, or maybe not have made it at all!)

Shrek, Star Wars and those dumb prequels
Thanks for the trilogies
Even if they weren’t so great
We will see them in the theatre
If once was good three times is great
Thanks for the trilogies. Thanks for the trilogies
And We will see them in the theatres
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

They say

We just give audiences more of movies they crave
Can’t argue with box office tickets and critics rave
But not one of these trios has got
A second installment with a plot
Half the time you will see
The final one straight to DVD
Whoa

X-Men, Scream, Lord of the Rings
Thanks for the trilogies
Even if they weren’t so great
We will see them in the theatre
If once was good three times is great
Thanks for the trilogies. Thanks for the trilogies
And We will see them in the theatres

The Mummy, Austin Powers, Resident Evil
Thanks for the trilogies
Even if they weren’t so great
We will see them in the theatre
If once was good three times is great
Thanks for the trilogies. Thanks for the trilogies
And We will see them all in the theatres!
