Hollywood Star [Hooray for Hollywood] lyrics

Oh, no, it's a shot in the dark.

Still, you plot and you scheme

till it breaks your heart.

And, oh, no, this Hollywood scene,

it's a world of illusion, 

it's a strange disease.

And, oh, yes, a political game.

It's the price you must pay 

so they'll remember your name.

And, oh, yes, this Hollywood scene,

it's a Disneyland ride or a dead-end street.

And you want to be a Hollywood star

'cause all your life, they said 

you'd never go too far.

Oh, yes, tell the world who you are.

You're the saint, you're the whore 

in the long black car.

Oh, yes, so today you're the scene.

Better keep where you sleep 

from the fan magazines.

And you want to be a Hollywood star

'cause all your life, they said 

you'd never go too far.

So you want to be a Hollywood star

'cause you wanna see your name in lights.

And you want to be a Hollywood star.

Well, don't you?

I said don't you?

Oh, no, it's a shot in the dark.

Still, you plot and you scheme

till it breaks your heart.

And, oh, yes, this Hollywood scene,

it's a Disneyland ride or a dead-end street.

And you want to be a Hollywood star

'cause all your life, they said 

you'd never go too far.

And you want to be a Hollywood star

'cause all your life, they said 

you'd never go too far.

Good night, Cleveland.

Thank you!
