Hollywood Swinging Lyrics

[00:18.15] Hey, hey, hey
[00:21.98] What ya got to say?
[00:26.45] I said hey, hey, hey
[00:30.99] What ya got to say?
[00:35.58] Hollywood
[00:39.44] Hollywood swinging
[00:44.16] Hollywood
[00:47.91] Hollywood swinging
[00:53.17] I remember not too long ago
[01:00.88] (Hey hey!) I went to the theater
[01:05.61] And I saw the Kool in the gang show
[01:10.17] I always wanted to get into a band
[01:18.41] To sing my songs
[01:22.56] And then become a bad piano playing man
[01:27.24] So here I am, in this Hollywood city
[01:35.96] The city of the stars, movies, women and cars
[01:40.08] Well I guess I, I guess I'll stay
[01:44.97] Hey, hey, hey (H-hey)
[01:48.44] What ya got to say?
[01:53.08] I said hey, hey, hey
[01:57.48] What ya got to say?
[02:01.98] Hollywood
[02:06.04] Hollywood swinging
[02:10.53] Hollywood
[02:14.88] Hollywood swinging
[02:22.96] Hollywood swing
[02:27.93] (Hollywood is swinging, Hollywood is swinging)
[02:32.77] (Hollywood is swinging) Hollywood swing, yeah!
[02:36.63] Ooh! (Hollywood is swinging, Hollywood is swinging)
[02:40.86] (Hollywood is swinging, Hollywood is swinging)
[02:45.21] Ooh! (Hollywood is swinging, Hollywood is swinging)
[02:49.58] (Hollywood now swinging, Hollywood now swinging) The time has come!
[02:53.74] (Hollywood now swinging, Hollywood now swinging) Let's keep it down
[02:57.47] Ahah! (Hollywood now swinging, Hollywood now swinging)
[03:02.07] (Hollywood now swinging, Hollywood now swinging) Woo!
[03:05.81] (Hollywood now swinging, Hollywood now swinging)
[03:10.09] (Hollywood now swinging, Hollywood now swinging)
[03:14.53] (Hollywood now swinging, Hollywood now swinging)
[03:18.93] Ooh! Swinging
[03:23.09]
[03:37.97] Hollywood swinging, ooh!
[03:43.33]
