Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain
Along Hollywood Boulevard
Some that you recognize, some that you've hardly even heard of
Success walks hand in hand with failure
And if you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
It doesn't matter who you are
People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame
Be always on your guard
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain
And everybody's in movies
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain
Looks very much alive
Because she wanted to be alone
Some that you recognize, some that you've hardly even heard of
But she turned her back on stardom
She looks so weak and fragile
And he looks up ladies' dresses
Avoid stepping on Bela Lugosi
Some that you recognize, some that you've hardly even heard of
It doesn't matter who you are
Rudolph Valentino
And everybody's in show biz
Everybody's a dreamer
People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame
I wish my life was a non-stop Hollywood movie show
You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
Their names are written in concrete
As you walk down the Boulevard
But they turned her into a princess
You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
But stand close by Bette Davis
You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes
Because he's liable to turn and bite
People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame
And they sat her on a throne
There are stars in every city
Don't step on Greta Garbo
Because hers was such a lonely life
As they sadly pass him by
And everybody's a star
In every house and on every street
That's why she tried to be so hard
And those who are successful
