Royal Crown Revue - Trouble In Tinsel Town Lyrics
(james achor/eddie nichols/bill ungerman)Arranged by bill ungermanDirty neon lights, the traffics cryFootsteps echo on the streetThe cheap but lovely chicksAnd a sawbuck for a trickAnd shell work for a bite to eatSo where is all the glamour?Wheres that lovely starlets kiss?But out in t.v. landThey dream of tinsel townBut Ill tell you just what theyve missedHustlers roll, beat cops strollThe city where the night runs deepSeedy bars, cats in lowered carsThats hollywood while youre asleepWell here comes the fogOr is that smog?cause man I cant tell anymoreThere aint no welcome wagon around this townFred and ethel sure the hell aint next doorBut way out in the distanceSomeone watches the late night showThey dream of being hip on sunset stripBut Ill tell you what they dont knowDirty neon lights, the traffics cryFootsteps echo on the streetThe cheap but lovely chicksAnd a sawbuck for a trickAnd shell work for a bite to eatSo where is all the glamour?Wheres that lovely starlets kiss?But out in t.v. landThey dream of tinsel townBut Ill tell you just what theyve missedHustlers roll, beat cops strollThe city where the night runs deepYeah seedy bars, cats in lowered carsThats hollywood while youre asleep
