Mama, sit down for me please
|
Daddy, comfort her in this time of need
|
Your one and only son has got to get away
|
Before this ghetto life becomes the death of me
|
|
Goodbye Mama, Goodbye Papa
|
I'm going to do good in Hollywood
|
Goodbye Mama, Goodbye Papa
|
I'm going to do good in Hollywood
|
Hollywood
|
|
You have always taught me right from wrong
|
You always told me I could sing myself a song
|
Mom, I got to go, it's a case of do or die, do or die
|
It's like you always told me, keep your head to the sky
|
|
Goodbye Mama, Goodbye Papa
|
I'm going to do good in Hollywood
|
Goodbye Mama, Goodbye Papa
|
I'm going to do good in Hollywood
|
Goodbye Mama, Goodbye Papa
|
I'm going to do good in Hollywood
|
Goodbye Mama, Goodbye Papa
|
I'm going to do good in Hollywood
|
Hollywood
|
|
You know, I've been dreaming
|
I've been looking to the stars for light
|
Mom, I've been thinking about it
|
You know, I've been thinking about it all my life, all my life
|
And I've been hoping, I've been hoping
|
One day I might go to Hollywood, to Hollywood
|
Where the singers, and the movie stars, and the people, living mountains
|
And the sun shines all the time
|
Ain't nothing much, and I got to keep on
|
|
Keep on, keep on, you're gonna make it good in Hollywood
|
Keep on, keep on, you're gonna make it good in Hollywood
|
Keep on, keep on, you're gonna make it good in Hollywood
|
Keep on, keep on, you're gonna make it good in Hollywood
|
Keep on, keep on, you're gonna make it good in Hollywood
|
Keep on, keep on, you're gonna make it good in Hollywood
|
|
People keeping on, keeping on, and keeping on
|
Keep on, uh
|
Won't be long
|
Till I get there
|
Till I get there
|
Won't be long
|
I'm gon' be there
|
Lord knows I got to be right there
|
Won't be long and
|
Won't be long and
|
Won't be long and
|
Won't be long and
|
Won't be long and
|
Won't be long and
|
Won't be long and
|
Won't be long and
|
