Lyric Hollywood Seven
She came in one night from Omaha, worn out
She never could sleep on trains, took the bus to Hollywood
Lookin for a room in the pourin rain
With hair so blonde and eyes so brown
She thought she d take this town and turn it upside down
And me, I was livin in a hotel just off Sunset
She moved in across the hall
And she said she d be a movie star
And waited every mornin for a call
So I asked her in just to have a little drink but she hardly had the time
A call might come tomorrow, she got to learn her lines
On Hollywood Seven, rooms to rent, till your name goes up in lights
Woh-oh, Hollywood Seven, dream your dream - seven bucks a night
And then the months went by without a job
The money that she saved was nearly spent
So she started bringin strangers home
Just tryin to find a way to pay the rent
And she d sit down and drink my coffee, got nothin much to say
Just busy rehearsin in her mind the scene she d never play
On Hollywood Seven, rooms to rent, till your name goes up in lights
Woh-oh, Hollywood Seven, dream your dreams for seven bucks a night
I found her there one mornin
She didn t come for coffee when I called
She d gone and brought the wrong one home this time
There were crazy lipstick marks all over the wall
Now she s goin back to Omaha but not the way she d planned
There ll be no crowd to cheer her on, no welcome home, no band
On Hollywood Seven, rooms to rent, till your name goes up in lights
Hollywood Seven, dream your dream for seven bucks a night
She came in one night from Syracuse, tired from sleepin on the plane
Took a cab to Hollywood, dreamin of the lights, that would spell her name
So I watched her take the lease on the empty room across the hall
Wakin up every mornin , waitin for that call
On Hollywood Seven, rooms to rent, till your name go-oes up in lights
Hollywood Seven, dreamin your dream - seven bucks a night
On Hollywood Seven, dreams to rent, till your name goes up in lights
Hollywood Seven, pay your dues - seven bucks a night
She never could sleep on trains, took the bus to Hollywood
Lookin for a room in the pourin rain
With hair so blonde and eyes so brown
