Dory Previn - Starlet Starlet On The Screen Who Will Follow Norma Jean? lyrics

Hollywood Who do you have to f** To get into this picture? Who do you have to lay To make your way? Hooray for hollywood What do you have to do To prove your worth? Who do you have to know To stay on earth? Who do you have to f** To become important? Who do you have to trick To be picked for the flick? Hooray for hollywood How do you make a virtue Of a vice? Who do you have to f** To get treated nice? They lead you Like an animal to slaughter You're inspected You're graded You're stamped Standard or prime They hang you on a meat hook Where you age But female meat Does not improve with time They cut you up And take the part that's tender And when they're through All that's left of you Is tough it's tough The flesh is willing But the spirit's growing weaker Enough! enough! Enough! enough! Enough! enough! Enough! enough! Who do you have to f** To get into a movie? 'cause you promised The home-town crowd You would make them proud Hooray for hollywood And you wait for the phone to ring In a vine street motel And you write your folks That being in the movies is Really really swell Well If that's anyone's idea of heaven Who do you have to f** To get into hell? Hooray for hollywood!
