There's stars on the sidewalks of Hollywood
Footprints and names in cement
The palm trees and more and the summers
Even your dreams will be good

The Sunset's like one dying ember
My how the time passes slow
And soon you forget to remember
You think it's heaven I know

But Hollywood smiles like a movie star
Playing the part of a friend
And Hollywood smiles and you never know
Whether it's real or pretend
Chasing your dream round the bend

They call this the city of angels
A mecca of fortune and fame
A pot at the end of the rainbow
Sure beats the cold and the rain

And everyone here loves a winner
And when you're down you're alone
So show me some light just a glimmer
Don't let me die an unknown
'Cause Hollywood smiles like a movie star
Playing the part of a friend
Hollywood miles and you never know
Whether it's real or pretend
Chasing your dream round the bend

Oh Hollywood smiles like a movie star
Playing the part of a friend
Oh Hollywood smiles and you never know...
