"Let's All Go to the Lobby" is a 1957 animated musical snipe played as an advertisement before the beginning of the main film. It featured a family of four talking concession stand products, singing "Let's all go to the lobby to get ourselves a treat" and walking to the concession stand. The lyrics were written by Jack K. Tillar. The tune is an arrangement of "We Won't Be Home 'Til Morning", an 1840s drinking song by William Clifton.


The trailer was animated by Dave Fleischer (producer of Popeye cartoons) and produced by Filmack Studios of Chicago, a company that specialized in snipes. It was part of a series of Technicolor trailers aimed at informing audiences about a theater's newly installed concession stand.
