lyrics

At 62nd and Broadway, you had to take the escalator
A subterranean film buff palace, a different kind of movie theater
For 36 years not following trends
Sad that all good things have to end
Goodbye Lincoln Plaza, goodbye

Films from so many countries, unusual and challenging points of view
The bold visions of old masters, or a new director’s electric breakthrough
I used to joke I could walk inside
Say ‘give me the next show of whatever’ and be satisfied
Goodbye Lincoln Plaza goodbye

first film I saw there ‘My dinner with Andre’, the last ‘in the land of the pomegranate’
There were other theaters bigger, more comfortable,
but for my money this was the best on the planet
36 years it delivered the goods
A bright shining spot in the neighborhood
Goodbye Lincoln Plaza Goodbye
(c) M. Skliar 2018

This song was written for and about the Lincoln Plaza movie theater, which just recently closed after about 35 years...
