As I look at you a thought goes through my mind

What a marvelous find you'd make up - on the screen

I'm proud that I have you right by my side

But I'd be satisfied to lend you to the public to be seen

1. You ought to be in pictures, you're wonderful to see

2. You ought to be in pictures, you're wonderful to see

You ought to be in pictures, oh what a hit you would be

You ought to be in pictures, oh what a hit you would be

Your voice would thrill a nation, your face would be a - dored

You're lovely as a Crawford, like Davis, you are gay

You'd make a great sensation with wealth and fame your re - ward

You surely should be offered a staring part right away

And if you should kiss the way you kiss when we are all alone

You're sweet as the Gaynor and you're as hot as the gal named West

You'd make every girl and man a fan worshiping at your throne

You'd even make Garbo jealous if you took a movie test

You ought to shine as brightly as Jupiter and Mars

You ought to dress like Colbert and ride in motor cars

You ought to be in pictures, my star of stars

You ought to be in pictures, my star of stars
