[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Don't tread 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 put her on a throne
But she turned her back on stardom
Because she wanted to be alone

[Chorus]
You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
There are some that you recognize
Some that you've hardly even heard of
People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame
There are some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain
[Verse 3]
Rudolph Valentino looks very much alive
And he looks 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
'Cause hers was such a lonely life

[Verse 4]
If you covered him with garbage
George Sanders would still have style
And if you stamped on Mickey Rooney
He would still turn around and smile
But please don't tread on dearest Marilyn
'Cause she's not very tough
She should have been made of iron or steel
But she was only made of flesh and blood

[Chorus]
And you can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
There are some that you recognize
Some that you've hardly even heard of
People who fought and suffered and struggled for fame
There are some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain
[Post-Chorus]
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

[Verse 5]
Everybody's a dreamer
And everybody's a star
And everybody's in show biz
It doesn't matter who you are
But those who are successful
Be always on your guard
Success walks hand in hand with failure
Along Hollywood Boulevard

[Chorus]
And you can see all the stars as you walk along Hollywood Boulevard
There are some that you recognize
Some that you've hardly even heard of
People who fought and suffered and struggled for fame
There are some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain

[Post-Chorus]
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
