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
|
|
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.
|
|
Rudolph Valentino, looks very much alive
|
And he looks up ladies' dresses
|
as they sadly pass him by
|
Avoid stepping on Bela Lugosi
|
Because he's liable to turn and bite
|
But stand close by Bette Davis
|
Because hers was such a lonely life
|
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
|
|
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
|
You can see all the stars as you
|
walk along 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
|
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
|
la la la la la la la la
|
Everybody's a dreamer and everybody's a star
|
And everybody's in movies, it doesn't matter who you are
|
