Celluloid Heroes

Everybody's a dreamer

and everybody's a star

and everybody's in movies

it doesn't matter who you are

There are stars in every city

in every house and on every street

and if you walk down

Hollywood Boulevard

Their names are written in concrete

Don't step on Greta Garbo

as you walk down the Boulevard

she looks so weak and fragile

that's why se tried to be so hard

But they turned her into a princess

and they sat her on a throne

but she turned her back on stardom

because she wanted to be alonoe

You can see all the stars as you

walk down Hollywood Boulevard

some that you recognize

some that you hardly even heard of

People who worked and suffered

and struggled for fame

some who succeeded and some

who suffered in vain

Rudolph Valentino looks

very much alive

and he's lookin' up ladies' dresses

as they sadly pass him by

Avoid stepping on Bela Lugosi

cause he's liable to turn and bite

But stand close by Bette Davis

because hers was such a lonely life

And if you covered him with garbage

George Sanders would

still have style

and if you stamped on Micky Roonie

he would still

turn around and smile

but please don't tread

on our dearest Marilyn

cause she's not very tough

she should have been made

of finer steel

but she was only made

of flesh and blood

and you can see all the stars

as you walk down

Hollywood Boulevard

some that you recognize

some that you hardly ever heard of

people who worked and suffered

and struggled for fame

some who succeeded and some

who suffered in vain

Everybody's a dreamer

and everybody's a star

and everybody's in movies

it doesn't matter who you are

And those who are successful

be always on your guard

success walks hand in hand

with failure

along Hollywood Boulevard

I wish my life was a non-stop

Hollywood movie show

a fantasy world of celluloid

villains and heroes

because celluloid heroes

never feel any pain

and celluloid heroes never really die

And you can see all the stars

as you walk doown

Hollywood Boulevard

some that you recognize

some that you hardly ever heard of

people who worked and suffered

and struggled for fame

some who succeeded and some

who suffered in vain

La, La, La, La, etc.

celluloid heroes never feel any pain

and celluloid heroes never really die

I wish my life was a non-stop

Hollywood movie show

a fantasy world of celluloid

villains and heroes

cause celluloid heroes

never feel any pain

and celluloid heroes never really die
