Hollywood Seven

She came in one night from Omaha

Worn out, 'cause she could never sleep on trains

Took a bus to Hollywood

Lookin' for a room in the pourin' rain

Hair so blond, her eyes so brown

She thought she'd take this town and turn it upside down

I was livin' in a hotel

Just at sunset she moved in across the hall

She said she'd be a moviestar

And waited every morning for the call

I asked her in for a drink

But she hardly had the time

Her call might come tomorrow

She had to know her lines

Hollywood seven, rooms to rent

Teen and goes up in lights

Hollywood seven, you can dream your dreams

For seven bucks a night

Hollywood seven, rooms to rent

Teen and goes up in lights

Hollywood seven, you can dream your dreams

For seven bucks a night

Now the months went by without a job

The money that she saved was nearly spent

But she started bringing strangers home

Had to find a way to pay the rent

She'd sit and dring black coffee

With nothing much to say

Just busy rehearsing in her mind

The scene she'd never play

Hollywood seven, rooms to rent

Teen and goes up in lights

Hollywood seven, you can dream your dreams

For seven bucks a night

Hollywood seven, rooms to rent

Teen and goes up in lights

Hollywood seven, you can dream your dreams

For seven bucks a night

I found her there one morning

When she didn't come for coffee when I called

She brought the wrong one home this time

There were crazy lipstick squals across the wall

Now she's going back to Omaha

But not the way she planned

There'll be no crowd to cheer her up

No 'Welcome home', no band

Hollywood seven, rooms to rent

Teen and goes up in lights

Hollywood seven, you can dream your dreams

For seven bucks a night

Hollywood seven, rooms to rent

Teen and goes up in lights

Hollywood seven, you can dream your dreams

For seven bucks a night

Hollywood seven, rooms to rent

Teen and goes up in lights

Hollywood seven, you can dream your dreams

For seven bucks a night
