Lyrics:
Lipstick in hand
Tahitian tanned in her painted on jeans
She dreams of fame
She changed her name
To one that fits the movie screen
She's headed for the big time, that means
She's going Hollywood
She's going Hollywood tonight
She's going Hollywood
She's going Hollywood tonight
She's going Hollywood
She's going Hollywood tonight
It's true, that you, may never ever have that chance again
West bound Greyhound
To tinsel town
Just to pursue her movie star dreams
She's giving hot tricks to men just to get it
When she was taught that that's not clean
Because she's only fifteen
She's going Hollywood
She's going Hollywood tonight
She's going Hollywood
She's going Hollywood tonight
She's going Hollywood
She's going Hollywood tonight
It's true, that you, may never ever have that chance again (that chance again)
Lipstick in hand
Tahitian tanned in her painted on jeans
She dreams of fame
She changed her name
To one that fits the movie screen
She's headed for the big time, that means
She's going Hollywood
She's going Hollywood tonight
She's going Hollywood
She's going Hollywood tonight
She's going Hollywood
She's going Hollywood tonight
It's true, that you, may never ever have that chance again (that chance again)
Tahitian tanned in her painted on jeans
She dreams of fame
She changed her name
To one that fits the movie screen
She's headed for the big time, that means
She's going Hollywood
She's going Hollywood tonight
She's going Hollywood
She's going Hollywood tonight
She's going Hollywood
She's going Hollywood tonight
It's true, that you, may never ever have that chance again
West bound Greyhound
To tinsel town
Just to pursue her movie star dreams
She's giving hot tricks to men just to get it
When she was taught that that's not clean
Because she's only fifteen
She's going Hollywood
She's going Hollywood tonight
She's going Hollywood
She's going Hollywood tonight
She's going Hollywood
She's going Hollywood tonight
It's true, that you, may never ever have that chance again (that chance again)
Lipstick in hand
Tahitian tanned in her painted on jeans
She dreams of fame
She changed her name
To one that fits the movie screen
She's headed for the big time, that means
She's going Hollywood
She's going Hollywood tonight
She's going Hollywood
She's going Hollywood tonight
She's going Hollywood
She's going Hollywood tonight
It's true, that you, may never ever have that chance again (that chance again)
