Hollywood or Bust song lyrics, Music by Sammy Fain, Lyrics by Paul Francis Webster, performed by Dean Martin in the movie of the same name
Land of stardust land of glamour
Hollywood, Hollywood
Land of stardust and land of glamour
Vistavision and Cinerama
Everyone considers it a must
To get to Hollywood or bust
Kids from Kansas to Pennsylvania
Soon develop that movie mania
Driving their jalopies through the dust
And out to Hollywood or bust
Underneath that moonlight in Malibu
Lovers stroll in the dark
Jeepers creepers, ten to one sleepers
Are winning at Hollywood Park
Land of burgers and land or weenies
Bathing beauties in their bikinis
Mingle with the lower upper crust
You’ll see your favorite dolly out and jolly
Hollywood or bust
Sound the trumpets strike the cymbals
Boys from Bonwit and girls from Gimbels
Shaking off that old Manhattan dust
To get to Hollywood or bust
Town of tinsel and town of bubbles
Drive-in theaters and daily doubles
Let me tell you mister it’s a must
To get to Hollywood or bust
Drugstore cowboys Hollywood Indians extras looking for jobs
Waiting for someone to discover them down at the counter of Schwabs
Land of burgers and land of weenies
Bathing beauties in their bikinis
Mingle with the lower upper crust
You’ll see your favorite dolly out and jolly
Hollywood
Hollywood
Hollywood or bust!
