Jon English - Hollywood 7 lyrics
Your rating:
She came in one night from Omaha, worn out 'Cause she never could sleep on trains She took the bus to Hollywood Lookin' for a room in the pourin' rain With her hair so blonde and her eyes so brown She thought she'd take this town and turn it upside down Well 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 the ca-all So I asked her in to share a drink But she hardly had the ti-ime A call might come tomorrow She had to learn her li-ines On Hollywood Seven Rooms to rent till your name goes up in lights Oh-oh Hollywood Seven You can dream your dreams for seven bucks a night Well, the months went by without a job The money that she saved was nearly spent So she started bringin' strangers home Tryin' to find a way to pay the rent With nothin' much to say-ay Just busy rehearsin' in her mind The scenes she'd never play-ay On Hollywood Seven, rooms to rent Till your name goes up in lights Oh-oh, Hollywood Seven You can dream your dreams for seven bucks a night Well I found her there one mornin' When she didn't come for coffee when I ca-alled She'd gone and brought the wrong one home this time There were crazy lipstick marks up on the wa-all Now she's goin' back to Omaha but not the way she'd pla-anned There'll be no crowd to cheer her on, no welcome home, no ba-and On Hollywood Seven, rooms to rent, till your name goes up in lights Oh Hollywood Seven, you can dream your dreams for seven bucks a night On Hollywood Seven, dreams to rent, till your name goes up in lights Oh-oh Hollywood Seven, you can pay your dues for seven bucks a night
