Verse I
Katie loved the chili dogs down at the "Tail O' the Pup".
Barney loved the "Walk of Fame" it had a feeling of good luck
They'd do the tourist thing whenever life shook 'em down.
And these sentimental fools you love 'em.
The first time they drive into town.

Verse II
Willie was the retro king with sideburns sculpted by God.
Nicholette had a tattooed breast and received many knowing nods.
They were the next big thing, could there be any doubt.
And these clueless fools you love 'em
Right down to the wicked pout.

Chorus
Hollywood style, it's got a funny old smile.
And if one pearly white still hangs you can go for awhile.
Hollywood style, it's an endless mile.
And the Santa Annas blow in all kinds of ghosts
They drive you up the freeway and down to the coast
And then they grant you your denial, that's the Hollywood style.

Verse III
The limo stopped and let them out beneath a spotlight sky.
Hanna and Richardo were the glow in everbody's eyes
They had everything that's what the tabloids said
Superstars forever til the next issue's put to bed.

To Chorus

Bridge
Katie and Barney, Willie and Nich, Hanna and Richardo
All get together to share the old times
They all keep one last thing, buried deep in their hearts
They need to hear the crowds and maybe that's what sets them apart.
