Trouble In Tinsel Town — текст песни (Royal Crown Revue)

(James Achor/Eddie Nichols/Bill Ungerman)
Arranged by Bill Ungerman


Dirty neon lights, the traffic`s cry
Footsteps echo on the street
The cheap but lovely chicks
And a sawbuck for a trick
And she`ll work for a bite to eat
So where is all the glamour?
Where`s that lovely starlet`s kiss?
But out in T.V. land
They dream of Tinsel Town
But I`ll tell you just what they`ve missed


Hustlers roll, beat cops stroll
The city where the night runs deep
Seedy bars, cats in lowered cars
That`s Hollywood while you`re asleep


Well here comes the fog
Or is that smog?
`Cause man I can`t tell anymore
There ain`t no welcome wagon around this town
Fred and Ethel sure the hell ain`t next door
But way out in the distance
Someone watches the late night show
They dream of being hip on Sunset Strip
But I`ll tell you what they don`t know


Dirty neon lights, the traffic`s cry
Footsteps echo on the street
The cheap but lovely chicks
And a sawbuck for a trick
And she`ll work for a bite to eat
So where is all the glamour?
Where`s that lovely starlet`s kiss?
But out in T.V. land
They dream of Tinsel Town
But I`ll tell you just what they`ve missed


Hustlers roll, beat cops stroll
The city where the night runs deep
Yeah seedy bars, cats in lowered cars
That`s Hollywood while you`re asleep
