(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.
