Drivin through the desert with the top pulled down
can’t get nothin on the radio
I hit the ground running when I left that town
over 15 hours ago
I asked her was she happy in this living hell
and heres what she said to me
“Everybody here is from somewhere else
(E) but not where they wanted to be” (resume pattern)

    Hooray for Hollywood
    the weathers always good
    don’t like it? well you should
    (B) Hip Hip Hooray for Hollywood (resume pattern)

came out here back in the 80s with a great big plan
was gonna show em all somethin new
spent the first three weeks sleepin in the sand
and wearin holes in my shoes
got a job washin dishes just to make ends meet
while waiting for impending fame
spent the night with a starlet nearly once a week
or at least that’s what they claimed

    Hooray for Hollywood
    every body looks so good
    gonna make it knock on wood
    Hip Hip Hooray for Hollywood

Met her out in Venice at the end of the pier
she said she was up for a ‘spot’
even though she said relationships made her weird
we decided to give it a shot
Came home from the callback, "Got my big break!"
as I came through the door,
Two bodies there in bed under the sheets,
and my agent's clothes on the floor...
 
    Hooray for Hollywood
    Everything's misunderstood
    Watch your back, they'll get you good
    Hip Hip Hooray for Hollywood.

Dreams of youth wither on the vine
when its ninety in the shade
Makin ends meet takes up all the time
bright lights start to fade
Years later caught a producer's eye
took me home for a test
two midgets in leather and a dog named Clyde
and I don't wanna discuss the rest

    Hooray for Hollywood
    an earthquake’d do some good
    I’d still go back there if I could
    Hip Hip Hooray for Hollywood
