Everybody's a dreamer and everybody's a star
|
And everybody's in movies it doesn't matter who you are
|
There are stars in every city in every house and on every street
|
And if you walk down Hollywood Boulevard their names are written in concrete
|
|
Don't step on Greta Garbo as you walk down the boulevard
|
She looks so weak and fragile that's why she tried to be so hard
|
But they turned her into a princess and they sat her on a throne
|
But she turned her back on stardom because she wanted to be alone
|
|
Ref: You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
|
Some that you recognise some that you've hardly even heard of
|
People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame
|
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain
|
|
If you covered him with garbage George Sanders would still have style
|
And if you stamped on Mickey Rooney he would still turn round and smile
|
But don't tread on dearest Marilyn 'cos she's not very tough
|
She should have been made of iron or steel but she was only flesh and blood
|
|
Ref: You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard

|
|
Rudolph Valentino looks very much alive
|
And he looks up ladies' dresses as they sadly pass him by
|
Avoid stepping on Bela Lugosi 'cause he's liable to turn and bite
|
But stand close by Bette Davis because hers was such a lonely life
|
|
I wish my life was a non stop hollywood movie show
|
A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes
|
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
|
And celluloid heroes never really die.
|
|
Everybody's a dreamer and everybody's a star
|
And everybody's in show biz it doesn't matter who you are
|
And those who are successful be always on your guard,
|
Success walks hand in hand with failure along Hollywood Boulevard.
