Hooray For Hollywood 1938

Hooray for Hollywood
That screwy bally hooey Hollywood,
Where any office boy
or young mechanic
can be a panic,
with just a good looking pan,
and any barmaid
can be a star maid,
if she dances with
or without a fan,
Hooray for Hollywood!
Where you're terrific
if you're even good,
where anyone at all
from Shirley Temple
to Alice Semple
is equally understood,
go out and try your luck,
You might be Donald Duck!
Hooray for Hollywood!

Hooray for Hollywood
That phony super Coney Hollywood,
they come from Chillicothes
and Paducahs
with their bazookas
to get their names up in lights,
all armed with photos
from local Rotos,
with their hair in ribbons
and legs in tights,
Hooray for Hollywood!
You may be homely
in your neighborhood,
but if you think
that you can be an actor,
see Mister Factor,
he'd make a monkey look good,
within a half an hour,
you'll look like Tyrone Power!
Hooray for Hollywood!
