[Verse 1]
She came in one night from Omaha, worn out cause she never could sleep on trains.
Took the bus to Hollywood, lookin for a room in the pourin rain.
With hair so blond and eyes so brown, she thought she d take
this town and turn it upside down.
[Verse 2]
I was livin in a hotel just off Sunset, she moved in across the hall.
She said she d be a movie star and waited every mornin for a call.
So I asked her in just to have a little drink but she hardly had the time.
Her call might come tomorrow, she s got to learn her lines.
[Chorus]
On Hollywood Seven, rooms to rent til your name goes up in lights.
Hollywood Seven you can dream your dreams for seven bucks a night.
[Verse 3]
Now the months went by without a job, the money that she saved was nearly spent.
So she started bringing strangers home just tryin to find a way to pay the rent.
She d sit down and drink my coffee, got nothin much to say.
Just busy rehearsin in her mind, the scene she d never play.
[Chorus]
On Hollywood Seven, rooms to rent til your name goes up in lights.
Hollywood Seven you can dream your dreams for seven bucks a night.
[Verse 4]
I found her there one mornin when 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 o er the walls.
Now she s goin back to Omaha but not the way she planned,
there will be no crowd to cheer her on, no welcome home, no band.
[Chorus]
On Hollywood Seven, rooms to rent, til your name goes up in lights.
Hollywood Seven you can dream your dreams for seven bucks a night.
[Verse 5]
She came in one night from Syracuse, tired from sleeping on the plane.
Took a cab to Hollywood, dreaming of the lights that would spell her name.
So much to take a lease out on the empty room across the hall.
Wakin up every mornin , waiting for that call.
[Chorus]
Hollywood Seven, rooms to rent, til your name goes up in lights.
Hollywood Seven you can dream your dreams for seven bucks a night.
[Chorus]
Hollywood Seven, rooms to rent, till your name goes up in lights.
Hollywood Seven you can pay your dues for seven bucks a night.
