Who's that dude who's spending
Money Like it's going out of style
Looks like he's gone Hollywood
Looks like he'll be gone for awhile
As it turned the corner
Dressed up like some foreigner
Far across the bay
If you listened maybe you
picked up on the words he say
On the ship I'm skipper
If you're hip I'm hipper
You probably know me, as the
ego tripper
I'm the China Clipper
And I'm Jack the ripper
You probably know me as the
As the ego tripper
Well they say he made a fortune
Sitting on his front porch and he
Don't give a damn
Don't say he went to Hollywood
Cause he pulled the Royal Scam
Just say that he went crazy, going through a phase
He's out in outer space
If you looked close maybe you could see
these words written on his face
Chorus
Well there's a little bit of him in you
But if you had the chance you'd do the same thing too
So if I become a stranger
Getting away with murder till the thrill is gone
just say I went Hollywood
cause I won't be gone for long
Chorus
