Hollywood is on the air
so listen people ev'rywhere...

Manhattanites can brag of lights
and Boston has its bean,
but on the coast
we proudly boast
'bout the Hollywood Canteen.
Where G.I.Joes
forget the woes
of Army life routine,
from ev'ry camp
for miles they tramp
to the Hollywood Canteen.
Some famous band
begins to jam
and ev'rybody starts to whirl,
a lucky bug
can cut a rug
with his favorite
Pin Up Girl.
The coffee pot
is always hot
and are the doughnuts keen
to any Vet
an air Cadet
a Sailor or Marine,
The welcome mat
says check your hat
at the Hollywood Canteen.

Some famous band
begins to jam
a boogie beat
to ev'ry bar,
a lucky bug
can cut a rug
with his favorite
Movie Star.
The coffee pot
is always hot
and are the doughnuts keen
to any Vet

a Sailor or Marine,
