[Verse 1]

A man looks at his wife and smiles, he says,

"What are we going to do to night?

What do you want to do tonight? The kids are at your sister’s house.

We can go do dinner and a movie. I’ll check what movies are playing."

“Don’t wanna watch no animated flix. That for the kids.”

[Pre-Course]

Nothings Good, Nothings Good

Robots in the moonlight

Monsters killing Aliens

It’s the same thing, same thing.

Sweetheart, it would be groovy,

If we stay home and watch a movie.

[Course]

We can watch “The Bodyguard”

And My Girl if we have the time

You Got Mail on Netflix

The Proposal after dinner cause it’s free on Prime

[Verse 2]

The man looked at his wife, he says, “I don’t like all those Rom Coms.

I really don’t like those Rom Coms. Can’t we watch some action instead?”

His wife says, “Do you love me? If you really love me

You would love the movies that I love, I love.

[Pre-Course]

He grabbed the remote, pointed at the screen,

He selected Netflix and hit search.

All along, along, he was thinking Marvel or DC,

Or Star Wars, or Maybe Star Trek

[Course]

"We can watch the Bodyguard

Then X-Men if we have the time.

Then My Girl on Netflix

The Avengers after dinner cause it’s free on prime"

[Verse 3]

The wife looks at the man

Asks, “Why would you suggest that.

You know I don’t like that.”

Then he said that "if you love me,

You would love my movies too.”

“Don’t use my words against me.

What is there we can both see?

What can we both enjoy?”

“On movies we never agree, agree”

[Pre-Course]

Then that is when the doorbell rang.

Somebody there was knocking.

The door was opened, opened.

A long-lost pal named Betty; there she stood.

Problems solved. He’s now happy. he says, "Amen," and "Hallelujah"

[Course]

"You can watch the Bodyguard

Go watch it with your long-lost pale

I’ll call my friend Eddie

Ask Eddie when he come here

Can you please bring Sal"

[Post-Chorus]

Ha, Ha, Ha-Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha-Ha

Ha, Ha, Ha-Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha-Ha, Ha-Ha

Ha, Ha, Ha-Ha, Ha-Ha, Ha-Ha, Ha, Ha

Ha, Ha, Ha-Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha-Ha-Ha

[Outro]

Y’all can watch the bodyguard (Ooh)

I’ll call my friend Eddie (Ooh)

Y’all can watch the bodyguard

I’ll call my friend Eddie

Y’all can watch the bodyguard
