Celluloid Heroes

Everybody's a dreamer
 And everybody's a star
 And everybody's in movies
 It doesn't matter who you are
 There are stars in every city
 In every house and on every street
 And if you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
 Their names are written in concrete
 Don't step on Greta Garbo
 As you walk down the boulevard
 She looks so weak and fragile
 That's why she tried to be so hard
 But they turned her into a princess
 And they sat her on a throne
 But she turned her back on stardom
 Because she wanted to be alone
 You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
 Some that you recognise, some that you've hardly even heard of
 People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame
 Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain
 Rudolph Valentino
 Looks very much alive
 And he looks up ladies' dresses
 As they sadly pass him by
 Avoid stepping on Bela Lugosi
 'Cause he's liable to turn and bite
 But stand close by Bette Davis
 Because hers was such a lonely life
 If you covered him with garbage
 George Sanders would still have style
 And if you stamped on Mickey Rooney
 He would still turn 'round and smile
 But please don't tread on dearest Marilyn
 'Cause she's not very tough
 She should have been made of iron or steel
 But she was only made of flesh and blood
 You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
 Some that you recognise, some that you've hardly even heard of
 People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame
 Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain
 Everybody's a dreamer
 And everybody's a star
 And everybody's in show-biz
 It doesn't matter who you are
 And those who are successful
 Be always on your guard
 Success walks hand in hand with failure
 Along Hollywood Boulevard
 I wish my life was a non-stop Hollywood movie show
 A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes
 'Cause celluloid heroes never feel any pain
 And celluloid heroes never really die
 You can see all the stars as you walk along Hollywood Boulevard
 Some that you recognise, some that you've hardly even heard of
 People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame
 Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain
 La la la la, la la la la la la la la la
 La la la la, la la la la la la la la la
 Oh, celluloid heroes never feel any pain
 Oh, celluloid heroes never really die
 I wish my life was a non-stop Hollywood movie show
 A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes
 Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
 And celluloid heroes never really die
