She came in one night from Omaha, worn out
'cause she never could sleep on trains.
Took the bus to Hollywood, lookin' for a room in the pourin' rain.
With hair so blond and eyes so brown, she thought she'd take
this town and turn it upside down.
I was livin' in a hotel just off Sunset,
she moved in across the hall. She said she'd be a movie star
and waited every mornin' for a call.
So I asked her in, just to have a little drink
but she hardly had the time. Her call might come tomorrow,
she's got to learn her lines.
On Hollywood Seven, rooms to rent,
till your name goes up in lights.
Hollywood Seven you can dream your dreams
for seven bucks a night.
Now the months went by without a job,
the money that she saved was nearly spent.
So she started bringing strangers home
just tryin' to find a way to pay the rent.
She'd sit down and drink my coffee, got nothin' much to say,
just busy rehearsin' in her mind, the scene she'd never play
On Hollywood Seven, rooms to rent,
till your name goes up in lights.
Hollywood Seven you can dream your dreams
for seven bucks a night.
I found her there one mornin' when she didn't
come for coffee when I called.
She'd gone and brought the wrong one home this time,
there were crazy lipstick marks all o'er the walls.
Now she's goin' back to Omaha but not the way she planned,
there will be no crowd to cheer her on, no welcome home, no band.
On Hollywood Seven, rooms to rent,
till your name goes up in lights.
Hollywood Seven you can dream your dreams
for seven bucks a night.
She came in one night from Syracuse,
tired from sleeping on the plane.
Took a cab to Hollywood, dreaming of the lights
that would spell her name.
So much to take a lease out on the empty room across the hall
wakin' up every mornin', waiting for that call.
Hollywood Seven, rooms to rent,
till your name goes up in lights.
Hollywood Seven you can dream your dreams
for seven bucks a night.
Hollywood Seven, rooms to rent,
till your name goes up in lights.
Hollywood Seven you can pay your dues
for seven bucks a night.
This is my favorite song of Jons and I wanted to do it as best I could, please
