Mama, sit down for me please
Daddy, comfort her in this time of need
Your one and only girl has got to get away
Before this ghetto life becomes the death of me, oh...
Goodbye Mama, Goodbye Papa
I'm going to do good in Hollywood, Hollywood
Goodbye Mama, Goodbye Papa
I'm going to do good in Hollywood, Hollywood
Hollywood, in Hollywood, oh...
You have always taught me right from wrong
You always told me I could sing myself a song
Mom, I got to go, it's a case of do or die
It's like you always told me, keep my head to the sky
Goodbye Mama, Goodbye Papa
I'm going to do good in Hollywood, Hollywood
Goodbye Mama, Goodbye Papa
I'm going to do good in Hollywood, in Hollywood
Goodbye Mama, Goodbye Papa
I'm going to do good in Hollywood, in Hollywood
Goodbye Mama, Goodbye Papa
(Ooh, yeah)
I'm gonna make it good in Hollywood, Hollywood
Hollywood, in Hollywood
Ooh, yeah, mm-hmm
I've been dreaming
One day I might get to Hollywood
Keep on, keep on
You're gonna make it good in Hollywood
Where the people live on mountains
Keep on, keep on
You're gonna make it good in Hollywood
And the sun shines all the time
Keep on, keep on
You're gonna make it good in Hollywood
And the sun shines all the time
Keep on, keep on
You're gonna make it good in Hollywood
And the sun shines all the time
