Kids if you want some fun
Mr. LaPage is your man
He's always laughing, having fun
Showing his films in the den
Come on, come on
Soon you will be eighteen
I think you know what I mean
Don't tell your mama
Your daddy or mama
They'll never know where you been
[Chorus]
Everyone's gone to the movies
Now we're alone at last
Listen to what I say
He wants to show you the way
Right down the hallway with open arms
To teach you a new game to play
Come on, come on
Soon it will be too late
Bobbing for apples can wait
We know you're used to sixteen or more
Sorry we only have eight
[Chorus]
Kids if you want some fun
See what you never have seen
Take off your cheaters and sit right down
Start the projection machine
[Chorus]
Mr. LaPage is your man
He's always laughing, having fun
Showing his films in the den
Come on, come on
Soon you will be eighteen
I think you know what I mean
Don't tell your mama
Your daddy or mama
They'll never know where you been
[Chorus]
Everyone's gone to the movies
Now we're alone at last
Listen to what I say
He wants to show you the way
Right down the hallway with open arms
To teach you a new game to play
Come on, come on
Soon it will be too late
Bobbing for apples can wait
We know you're used to sixteen or more
Sorry we only have eight
[Chorus]
Kids if you want some fun
See what you never have seen
Take off your cheaters and sit right down
Start the projection machine
[Chorus]

The final verse is "Take off your CHINOS and sit right down, and start the projection machine". Chinos are beige corduroy pants and they were popular in California during the 1970s and 1980s.
LaPaige is telling his little victims to take off their PANTS. Once they have, they will "see what [they] never have seen".
Chinos -- not "cheaters".
just listened to that line like 10 times in a row....he says cheaters...you can hear the hard "T" sound in the word, which of course you wouldnt hear with the word chinos
According to the lyric sheet from the re-mastered disc, it's "cheaters".
Chinos were extremely popular in the midwest and the NE states in the late 70's and through the 80's. They were not only a clothing brand, but a style of pants. We wore them (tan ones) with our Topsiders (dock shoes)and pink or light blue polos with the alligator logo. They were/are NOT corduroy. They are of a poly/cotton blend.
