Hip Hip Hooray

words and music by Cate Doefer and Tim Foley


(F#) (A2) (E) (B2) repeat pattern unless otherwise noted

Drivin through the desert with the top pulled down
can’t get nothin on the radio
I hit the ground running when I left that town
over 15 hours ago
I asked her was she happy in this living hell
and heres what she said to me
“Everybody here is from somewhere else
(E) but not where they wanted to be” (resume pattern)

Hooray for Hollywood

the weathers always good

don’t like it? well you should

B) Hip Hip Hooray for Hollywood (resume pattern)

came out here back in the 80s with a great big plan
was gonna show em all somethin new
spent the first three weeks sleepin in the sand
and wearin holes in my shoes
got a job washin dishes just to make ends meet
while waiting for impending fame
spent the night with a starlet nearly once a week
or at least that’s what they claimed

Hooray for Hollywood

every body looks so good

gonna make it knock on wood  

Hip Hip Hooray for Hollywood  

Met her out in Venice at the end of the pier  
she said she was up for a ‘spot’  
even though she said relationships made her weird  
we decided to give it a shot  
Came home from the callback, "Got my big break!"  
as I came through the door,  
Two bodies there in bed under the sheets,  
and my agent's clothes on the floor...  

Hooray for Hollywood  

Everything's misunderstood  

Watch your back, they'll get you good  

Hip Hip Hooray for Hollywood.  

Dreams of youth wither on the vine  
when its ninety in the shade  
Makin ends meet takes up all the time  
bright lights start to fade  
Years later caught a producer's eye  
took me home for a test  
two midgets in leather and a dog named Clyde  
and I don't wanna discuss the rest  

Hooray for Hollywood  

an earthquake’d do some good  

I’d still go back there if I could  

Hip Hip Hooray for Hollywood
