[Verse 1]
Came to Hollywood, gonna be a movie star
She got off the bus but she didn't get far
Now, she can act as good as Meryl Streep
Dreams of stardom when she sleeps
The casting couch makes her scream
Wasn't like this in her dreams

[Chorus]
Wishful thinkin'
Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me, give it to me good
Wishful thinkin'
Let's go!

[Verse 2]
Came to Hollywood, gonna be a big rock star
He can play a million riffs on a-this here guitar
Now, he works two jobs, can't get a break
Takes little white pills to stay awake
No record deals just make him scream
It wasn't like this in his dream

[Chorus]
Wishful thinkin'
Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me, give it to me good
Wishful thinkin'
Let's go!
[Spoken]
Come on, Bobby
Yeah, I like that

[Verse 3]
Hollywood superstars
Rock 'n' roll Denny's, topless bars
Do a porno movie, make some extra cash
But you spend it all too fast
Hollywood just makes you scream
It wasn't like this in your dreams

[Chorus]
Wishful thinkin'
Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me, give it to me good
Wishful thinkin', yeah
Dream, wishful thinkin'
Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me, give it to me good
Wishful thinkin', yeah, yeah
Let's go!
