Hooray for Hollywood - Anita O'Day

Hooray for Hollywood Lyrics

Hooray for Hollywood
That screwy ballyhooey Hollywood
Where any office boy or young mechanic can be a panic
With just a good looking pan
And any barmaid can be a star maid
If she dances with or without a fanHooray for Hollywood,
Where you're terrific if you're even good
Where anyone at all from Shirley Temple to Aimee Semple
Is equally understood
Go out and try your luck, you might be Donald Duck
Hooray for HollywoodHooray for Hollywood
That phoney super-Coney Hollywood
They come from Chillicothes and Paducas with their bazookas
To get their names up in lights
All armed with photos from local rotos
With their hair in ribbon and legs in tightsHooray for Hollywood
You may be homely in your neighbourhood
But if you think that you can be an actor, see Mr. Factor

He'll make a monkey look good
Within a half an hour you'll look like Tyrone Power
Hooray for Hollywood
