The Hollywood Dream

Baby got into her car

Drove all the way to New York city

Um Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmm

She played her guitar there

They made her a star in New York city

Um Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmm

She went to Paris, France

That’s where she got the chance

To be a movie star

I got a post card from Rome

Then she was headin' home

To America

A superstar

She’d come so far

Dit dit da dit die o

Dit dit da dit die o

Dit dit da dit die o

Dit dit da dit die o

Well it wasn’t very long

Till she was back out on

That old freeway

Um Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmm

She drove across the mountains

The prairies, the deserts

Of the U.S.A.

Um Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Hollywood gave her a call

She went and lived it all

On the silver screen

Sometimes she laughed and she cried

She kept it all inside

For the magazines

The silver screen

The Hollywood dream

Dit dit da dit die o

Dit dit da dit die o

Dit dit da dit die o

Dit dit da dit die o

Now she lives in an ivory tower

A tower built by fame

Um Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmm

And she’s got the wealth and power

But she hasn’t got a man

Um Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmm

No matter how hard she tried

She was so empty inside

So lonely

She hung her head and she cried

Was it the love she denied

Never satisfied

Deep inside

She said goodbye

She paid the price for her fame

Everyone knows her name

America

A superstar

She’s come so far

Dit dit da dit die o

Dit dit da dit die o

Dit dit da dit die o

Dit dit da dit die o

Dit dit da dit die o

Dit dit da dit die o
