Hooray for Hollywood
Hooray for HollywoodThat screwy ballyhooey HollywoodWhere any office boy or young mechanic can be a panicWith just a good looking panAnd any barmaid can be a star maidIf she dances with or without a fanHooray for Hollywood,Where you're terrific if you're even goodWhere anyone at all from Shirley Temple to Aimee SempleIs equally understoodGo out and try your luck, you might be Donald DuckHooray for HollywoodHooray for HollywoodThat phoney super-Coney HollywoodThey come from Chillicothes and Paducas with their bazookasTo get their names up in lightsAll armed with photos from local rotosWith their hair in ribbon and legs in tightsHooray for HollywoodYou may be homely in your neighbourhoodBut if you think that you can be an actor, see Mr. FactorHe'll make a monkey look goodWithin a half an hour you'll look like Tyrone PowerHooray for HollywoodHooray for Hollywood Aus Songtexte Mania
