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.

but she hardly had the time. Her call might come tomorrow,

she's got to learn her lines.

just tryin' to find a way to pay the rent.
