(Hollywood-sounding guy talking)

Hi man, do you like it here man?

It's really too much

Hey I know this great Mexican restaurant called Los Tacos

Can you say taco?

Sure I thought you could

Hey I know this great beach down in Santa Monica Boulevard

Do you like the sun?

It makes me feel real tingly all over

Hey, have you checked out Palm Springs?

What a place, Palm Springs

You'll love it, you'll absolutely love it!

Can you say love?

Sure, I know you're into it.

In El Padrino's at the happy hour

They've got a drink they say is made from passionflowers

So neat, so sweet.

They bring it all the way from Mexico

It's guaranteed to take you where you want to go

Oh boy, enjoy.

And you leave to see how the city feels

In the moonlight everything's so unreal

But when the sun shines everything tastes so good

And the sign says "Welcome to Hollywood".

They got a big house and a swimming pool

They sit around and everybody looks so cool

So bad, so sad.

Stuck in the middle with the blues again

You should know better, when you ever gonna learn

So long, so long.

And you leave to see how the city feels

In the moonlight everything's so unreal

But when the sun shines everything tastes so good

And the sign says "Welcome to Hollywood".

In El Padrino's at the happy hour

They've got a drink they say is made from passionflowers

So neat, so sweet.

They bring it all the way from Mexico

It's guaranteed to take you where you want to go

Oh boy, enjoy.

And you leave to see how the city feels

In the moonlight everything's so unreal

But when the sun shines everything tastes so good

And the sign says "Welcome to Hollywood".

(fade til end)

In Hollywood, in Hollywood

In Hollywood, in Hollywood

(a different Hollywood-sounding guy talking)

Yeah in Hollywood, hey in Hollywood baby

Gerry, love it! love it!

Get down Gerry, get down in Hollywood

Hey it's 80 degrees in Burbank,

85 Inglewood, 90 in the Valley

and 110 in my heart for Gerry Rafferty

Gerry get down baby

Heavy sounds, radio KRAP

You're gonna love it

I said in Hollywood

Gerry we're gonna hit the mountains

We're gonna hit the beaches

And hit you with this

Gerry baby you fry my brain and drive me insane!

Get down in Hollywood Gerry

Woooh! What'd I say baby!

Other Gerry Rafferty song Lyrics
Get It Right Next Time "Get It Right Next Time Gerry Rafferty Out on the street I was talkin' to a man He said "there's so much of this life of mine that I don't understand"..."	Baker Street "Winding your way down on Baker Street Light in your head and dead on your feet Well another crazy day You drink the night away..."
Moonlight And Gold "Moonlight and gold Midsummer magic when the night turns to day And songbirds greet the dawn You lie awake..."	Stuck In The Middle With You "Well I don't know why I came here tonight I got the feeling that something ain't right I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs..."
Night Owl "Night comes down and finds you alone In a space and time of your own Lost in dreams in a world full of shadows Down the street the neon light shines..."	Waiting for the Day "Well here I am, back in town Just as the night is comin' down Warm wind blowin' through the trees I watch them swing, I watch them sway..."
Right Down the Line "You know I need your love, You got that hold over me Long as I got your love, You know that I'll never leave When I wanted you to share my life, I had no doubt in my mind And it's been you, woman, right down the line..."	Bring It All Home "I was lost on an endless sea Going down, going down, going down on an endless sea Sail with the wind, you weather the storm You bring it all home, bring it all home, you bring it all home...."
