She in came in one night from Omaha
Worn out, she never could sleep on trains
She took the bus to Hollywood
Lookin' for a room in the pouring rain
With hair so blond and eyes so brown
She thought she'd take this town and turn it upside down
And me, I was livin' in a hotel just off Sunset
She moved in across the hall
And she said she'd be a movie star,
waitin' every mornin' for a call
I asked her in just to have a little drink
But she hardly had the time,
a call might come tomorrow, she got to learn her lines

On Hollywood seven rooms to rent
'til your name goes up in lights
Whoa Hollywood seven, dream your dream
seven bucks a night

And then months went by without a job
The money that she saved was nearly spent
So she started bringin' strangers home
just to try to find a way to pay the rent
And she'd sit down and drink my coffee
Got nothin' much to say
Just busy rehearsing in her mind
the scene she'd never play

On Hollywood seven rooms to rent
'til your name goes up in lights
Whoa Hollywood seven, dream your dream
seven bucks a night

I found her there one morning
She didn't come for coffee when I called
She'd gone and brought the wrong one home this time
There were crazy lipstick marks all over the wall
Now she's goin' back to Omaha, but not the way she planned
There'll be no crowd to cheer her up, no welcome home, no band

On Hollywood seven rooms to rent
'til your name goes up in lights
Hollywood seven, dream your dream
Seven bucks a night

She came in one night from Syracuse
Tired from sleepin' on planes
Took a cab to Hollywood, dreamin' of the lights
That would spell her name
So I watched her take a lease on the empty room across the hall
Wakin' up every mornin', waitin' for that call

Hollywood seven rooms to rent
'til your name goes up in lights
Hollywood seven, dreamin' your dream
seven bucks a night

Hollywood seven dreams to rent
'til your name goes up in lights
Hollywood seven, pay your dues
seven bucks a night
