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 she 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 alone. 


You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard, 
Some that you recognise, some that you've hardly even heard of, 
People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame, 
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain. 


If you covered him with garbage, 
George Sanders would still have style, 
And if you stamped on Mickey Rooney 
He would still turn round and smile, 
But please don't tread on dearest Marilyn 
'Cos she's not very tough, 
She should have been made of iron or steel, 
But she was only made of flesh and blood. 


You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard... 


You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard... 


Rudolph Valentino, looks very much alive, 
And he looks up ladies' dresses as they sadly pass him by. 
Avoid stepping on Bela Lugosi 
'Cos he's liable to turn and bite, 
But stand close by Bette Davis 
Because hers was such a lonely life. 




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. 
Everybody's a dreamer and everybody's a star 
And everybody's in show biz, 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.
