SITTIN’ IN THE BALCONY

Just a-sittin’ in the balcony
Just a-watchin’ a movie
Or maybe it’s a symphony
I wouldn’t know

Don’t care about the symphonies
Those cymbales and tympanies
Just a-sittin’ in the balcony
On the very last row

I hold your hand and I kiss you, too
The feature’s over, but we’re not through!
Mmmm, just a-sittin’ in the balcony
Holdin’ hands in the balcony
Just a-sittin’ in the balcony
On the very last row

We may stop lovin’ to watch Bugs Bunny
But he can’t take the place of my honey!
Just a-sittin’ in the balcony
Just a-snootchin’ in the balcony
Just a-sittin’ in the balcony
On the very last row
Just a-huggin’ and a-kissin’
With my baby in the very last row

And … who sang it?

I’ve never been able to figure out why they always wrote songs about what we were doing as teenagers – LOL – :)

There was alot of smooching going on in the balcony in those 1958-60 days... some memorable evenings for ACS teens. I think admission was 25 cents at that time. I haven't seen so many movies before or since. How many times I went to the Alhambra Theater to meet the gang in the balcony upstairs, and yet there are only two movies I remember seeing there:

I'm glad I missed that sorta scene. Cute,though. In 1956? I didn't have a clue about anything. I was 11 years old... Wow! I’m glad I missed that sorta scene. Cute,though. In 1956?
