Gerry Rafferty - Welcome To Hollywood Lyrics
(Hollywood-sounding guy talking)Hi man, do you like it here man?It's really too muchHey I know this great Mexican restaurant called Los TacosCan you say taco?Sure I thought you couldHey I know this great beach down in Santa Monica BoulevardDo you like the sun?It makes me feel real tingly all overHey, have you checked out Palm Springs?What a place, Palm SpringsYou'll love it, you'll absolutely love it!Can you say love?Sure, I know you're into it.In El Padrino's at the happy hourThey've got a drink they say is made from passionflowersSo neat, so sweet.They bring it all the way from MexicoIt's guaranteed to take you where you want to goOh boy, enjoy.And you leave to see how the city feelsIn the moonlight everything's so unrealBut when the sun shines everything tastes so goodAnd the sign says "Welcome to Hollywood".They got a big house and a swimming poolThey sit around and everybody looks so coolSo bad, so sad.Stuck in the middle with the blues againYou should know better, when you ever gonna learnSo long, so long.And you leave to see how the city feelsIn the moonlight everything's so unrealBut when the sun shines everything tastes so goodAnd the sign says "Welcome to Hollywood".In El Padrino's at the happy hourThey've got a drink they say is made from passionflowersSo neat, so sweet.They bring it all the way from MexicoIt's guaranteed to take you where you want to goOh boy, enjoy.And you leave to see how the city feelsIn the moonlight everything's so unrealBut when the sun shines everything tastes so goodAnd the sign says "Welcome to Hollywood".(fade til end)In Hollywood, in HollywoodIn Hollywood, in Hollywood(a different Hollywood-sounding guy talking)Yeah in Hollywood, hey in Hollywood babyGerry, love it! love it!Get down Gerry, get down in HollywoodHey it's 80 degrees in Burbank,85 Inglewood, 90 in the Valleyand 110 in my heart for Gerry RaffertyGerry get down babyHeavy sounds, radio KRAPYou're gonna love itI said in HollywoodGerry we're gonna hit the mountainsWe're gonna hit the beachesAnd hit you with thisGerry baby you fry my brain and drive me insane!Get down in Hollywood GerryWoooh!
