DUSTY SPRINGFIELD - Hollywood Movie Girls lyrics

(G. Heideman)

Today I went out on a movie call

I saw a million nervous faces

I knew them all

Hollywood movie girls

We're all wearing our one good interview dress

The one showin' our legs

Aah, we're lookin' our best

Now, who will be chosen for the screen test?

It's your guess

Hollywood movie girls

And each and every potential star

Drives home in the night in her economy car

Whoever thought home would be a one-room flat?

Well, as simple as that

Hollywood movie girls

Each morning up early to call on the 'phone

Agents, producers, oh, they're never at home

Like door-to-door salesmen, we are selling ourselves

Ooh, nothing else

Hollywood movie girls

And each and every potential star

Drives home in the night in her economy car

Whoever thought home would be a one-room flat?

Well, as simple as that

Hollywood movie girls

And just about bedtime each one of us asks

Tell me, when will I make it to the big-time at last?

Oh, small parts you're offered

Aah, but those too shall pass

Nothing lasts

Hollywood movie girls

Yeah, and each and every potential star

Drives home in the night in her economy car

Whoever thought home would be a one-room flat?

Well, as simple as that

Hollywood movie girls

Oh, star light, star bright, won't you wish on me tonight?

Wish I may, wish I might

Shine your light for me
