Hi man, do you like it here man?
|
It's really too much
|
Hey I know this great Mexican restaurant called Los Tacos
|
Can you say taco?
|
Sure I thought you could
|
Hey I know this great beach down in Santa Monica Boulevard
|
Do you like the sun?
|
It makes me feel real tingly all over
|
Hey, have you checked out Palm Springs?
|
What a place, Palm Springs
|
You'll love it, you'll absolutely love it!
|
Can you say love?
|
Sure, I know you're into it.
|
|
In El Padrino's at the happy hour
|
They've got a drink they say is made from passionflowers
|
So neat, so sweet.
|
|
They bring it all the way from Mexico
|
It's guaranteed to take you where you want to go
|
Oh boy, enjoy.
|
|
And you leave to see how the city feels
|
In the moonlight everything's so unreal
|
But when the sun shines everything tastes so good
|
And the sign says "Welcome to Hollywood".
|
|
They got a big house and a swimming pool
|
They sit around and everybody looks so cool
|
So bad, so sad.
|
|
Stuck in the middle with the blues again
|
You should know better, when you ever gonna learn
|
So long, so long.
|
|
And you leave to see how the city feels
|
In the moonlight everything's so unreal
|
But when the sun shines everything tastes so good
|
And the sign says "Welcome to Hollywood".
