Lyrics

[00:27.660] Everybody's a dreamer and everybody's a star
[00:35.590] And everybody's in movies it doesnt't't matter who you are
[00:43.070] There are stars in every city
[00:47.120] In every house and on every street
[00:51.190] And if you walk Hown hollywood boulevard
[00:55.240] Their names are written in concrete
[01:06.510] Don't step on Greta Garbo as you walk down the boulevard
[01:13.790] She looks so weak and fragile that's why she tried to be so hard
[01:21.340] But they turned her into a princess
[01:25.400] And they sat her on a throne
[01:29.570] But she turned her back on stardom
[01:33.380] Because she wanted to be alone
[01:39.420] You can see all the stars as you walk down hollywood boulevard
[01:47.810] Some that you recognise some that you've hardly even heard of
[01:55.890] People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame
[02:03.720] Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain
[02:11.960] Rudolph valentino looks very much alive
[02:19.220] And he looks up ladies dresses as they sadly pass him by
[02:27.250] Avoid stepping on bela lugosi
[02:31.290] Cos he's liable to turn and bite
[02:35.300] But stand close by bette davis
[02:39.320] Because hers was such a lonely life
[02:45.260] You can see all the stars as you walk down hollywood boulevard
[02:53.560] Some that you recognise some that youve hardly even heard of
[03:01.600] People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame
[03:09.270] Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain
[03:17.560] Everybody's a dreamer and everybody's a star
[03:25.130] And everybody's in show biz it doesnt't't matter who you are
[03:33.120] And those who are successful
[03:37.110] Be always on your guard
[03:40.550] Success walks hand in hand with failure
[03:44.650] Along Hollywood boulevard
[03:50.420] You can see all the stars as you walk along hollywood boulevard
[03:58.750] Some that you recognise some that youve hardly even heard of
[04:06.710] People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame
[04:14.410] Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain
[04:21.760] Lalalalala lalalalala
[04:37.440] Lalalalala lalalalala
[04:53.570] I wish my life was a non-stop hollywood movie show
[05:01.410] A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes
[05:08.900] Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
[05:16.830] And celluloid heroes never really die
