An Idea for a Movie Lyrics by The Vandals

Hitler Bad, Vandals Good

1998

[Verse 1]
I got an idea for a movie, and it goes like this
Check it out: it's about a boy who gets his finger caught
In a bottle of Mr. Pibb
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And they go on adventures
I think it could be big
Is it too soon to whisper Oscar?
[Chorus 1]
Put a happy ending there and it'll write itself, I swear
All we need
All we need are some meetings and a lead
[Verse 2]
I got an idea for a movie
It’s about this guy who wished and wished 'til it came true
And now this kid can fly
I got an idea for a movie, and here's my pitch:
I get a job and quit my band and you stop being a bitch
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And we will have adventures
Like the boy and his bottle did
Is it too soon to whisper Oscar?
[Chorus 2]
Put a happy ending there and it'll write itself, I swear
All we need
All we need are some meetings and a lead
With a happy ending there, this thing will write itself
I swear
All we need
All we need is some trick photography
[Bridge]
I forgot one thing about the guy
Who gained the ability to fly
It was actually only for a foot or two
And only an inch or so high
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And we will have adventures
Like the boy and his bottle did
Is it too soon to whisper Oscar?
[Chorus 2]
Put a happy ending there and it'll write itself, I swear
All we need
All we need are some meetings and a lead
With a happy ending there, this thing will write itself
I swear
All we need
All we need is some trick photography
