* 4-bar intro
* Verse 1 She came in one night from ? worn out.
She never could sleep on trains.
Took a bus to Hollywood,
Looking for a room in the pouring rain.
With hair so blonde and eyes so brown,
She thought she'd take this town and turn it up-side down,
And me, I was living in a hotel just off Sunset.
She moved in across the hall.
Then she said she'd be a movie star,
Then waited in the morning for a call.
So I asked her in just to have a little drink,
But she hardly had the time.
A call might come tomorrow.
She got to learn her lines.
* Chorus On Hollywood 7, rooms to rent
'Till your name goes up in lights.
Oh, Hollywood 7, dream your dream,
7 bucks a night.
* Verse 2 And then the months went by without a job.
The money that she saved was nearly spent,
And so she started bringing strangers home,
Just trying to find a way to pay the rent,
And she'd sit down and drink my coffee,
Got nothing much to say,
But just busy rehearsing in her mind
The scene she'd never play.
* Chorus 2 On Hollywood 7, rooms to rent
'Till your name goes up in lights.
Oh, Hollywood 7, dream your dreams,
7 bucks a night.
* 4-bar break
* Verse 3 I found her there one morning.
She didn't come for coffee when I called.
She got a rock and rum one home this time.
There were crazy lipstick marks all over the walls.
Now, she's going back to ?, but not the way she planned.
There'll be no crowd to cheer her off,
No welcome home, no band.
* Chorus 3 On Hollywood 7, rooms to rent
'Till your name goes up in lights.
Hollywood 7, dream your dream,
7 bucks a night.
* Verse 4 She came home one night from ?,
Tired from sleeping on the plane,
Took a cab to Hollywood, dreaming of the lights
That would spell her day.
So I watched her take the lease
On the empty room acroos the hall,
Waking up every morning, waiting for that call.
* Chorus 4 On Hollywood 7, rooms to rent
'Till your name goes up in lights.
Hollywood 7, dreaming your dream,
7 bucks a night.
* Chorus 5 On Hollywood 7, dreams to rent
'Till your name goes up in lights.
Hollywood 7, pay your dues,
7 bucks a night.
