Book 9 Page 21

Hollywood dreaming

Here I am washing dishes in Hollywood. I’m waiting for my big break,

for one day I’m gonna be a big star. I’m just 21, it’s never too late.

It’s nineteen seventy one,

That days gonna come.

-----

Here I am waitering, serving all the stars,

still waiting for my own limousine car.

It’s nineteen eighty two,

got the 'would be actors fever' and the star struck blues.

----

Here I am, it’s nineteen ninety three.

And I’ve been getting down on my knees.

I’ve done the town, I’ve slept around,

but still I’m waiting to be found.

----

Here I am cleaning rich movie stars cars,

still got high hopes to go far.

It’s nineteen ninety nine,

it seems I’m getting left behind.

Cause nobody wants an old fifty year old hag like me.
