^DEverybody's a ^Adreamer and ^Geverybody's a ^Dstar And ^F#meverybody's in ^Bmmovies, it doesn't ^Gmatter who you ^Aare There are ^Bmstarts in every ^F#mcity In every ^Ghouse and on every ^Astreet And if you ^Cwalk down Hollywood ^GBoulevard Their names are written ^Ain conc^Drete

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

Refrain
You can ^Csee all the stars as you ^Gwalk down Hollywood ^DBoulevard ^CSome that you recognize, ^Gsome that you've hardly even ^Dheard of ^CPeople who worked and ^Gsuffered and struggled for ^Dfame ^CSome who succeeded and ^Gsome who suffered in ^Dvain

Rudolph Valentino looks very much alive And he looks up ladies dresses as they sadly pass him by Avoid stepping on Bela Lugosi 'Cause he's liable to turn and bite But stand close by Bette Davis Because hers was such a lonely life If you covered him with garbage George Sanders would still have style And if you stamped on Mickey Rooney He would still turn round and smile But please don't tread on dearest Marilyn 'Cause she's not very tough She should have been made of iron or steel But she was only made of flesh and blood

Refrain
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

I wish my life was 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 You can see all the stars as you walk along...

Refrain
La la la la....

Oh, celluloid heroes never feel any pain Oh, celluloid heroes never really die I wish my life was 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 . -- **** Ola Rinta-Koski OK 20 A 2 02150 Espoo ola@vipunen.hut.fi **** **** Do we want to be the first on our block to put on a wet T-shirt in the foreseeable future'
