Celluloid Heroes Lyrics
Everybody's a dreamer
And everybody's a star
And everybody's in movies
It doesn't matter who you are
There are stars in every city
In every house and on every street
And if you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
Their names are written in concrete
Don't step on Greta Garbo
As you walk down the Boulevard
She looks so weak and fragile
That's why she tried to be so hard
But they turned her into a princess
And they sat her on a throne
But she turned her back on stardom
Because she wanted to be alone
You can see all the stars as you
Walk down Hollywood Boulevard
Some that you recognize
Some that you hardly even heard of
People who worked and suffered
And struggled for fame
Some who succeeded and some
Who suffered in vain
Rudolph Valentino looks
Very much alive
And he's lookin' up ladies' dresses
As they sadly pass him by
Avoid stepping on Bela Lugosi
'Cause he's liable to turn and bite
But stand close by Bette Davis
Because hers was such a lonely life
And if you covered him with garbage
George Ganders would still have style
And if you stamped on Micky Roonie
He would still turn around and smile
But please don't tread on our dearest Marilyn
'Cause she's not very tough
She should have been made of finer steel
But she was only made of flesh and blood
And you can see all the stars
As you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
Some that you recognize
Some that you hardly ever heard of

People who worked and suffered
And struggled for fame
Some who succeeded and some
Who suffered in vain
Everybody's a dreamer
And everybody's a star
And everybody's in movies
It doesn't matter who you are
And those who are successful
Be always on your guard
Success walks hand in hand
With failure along Hollywood Boulevard
I wish my life was a non-stop Hollywood movie show
A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
And celluloid heroes never really die
And you can see all the stars
As you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
Some that you recognize
Some that you hardly ever heard of
People who worked and suffered
And struggled for fame
Some who succeeded and some
Who suffered in vain
La la la la [unverified]
Celluloid heroes never feel any pain
And celluloid heroes never really die
I wish my life was a non-stop Hollywood movie show
A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes
'Cause celluloid heroes never feel any pain
And celluloid heroes never really die
