Starlight open wide, starlight open up you door
This is new york calling with movies on the street
Movies with real people, what you get is what you see
Starlight open wide, andys cecil b. demille
Come on l.a. give us a call
Weve got superstars who talk, theyll do anything at all
Ingrid, viva, little joe, baby jane, and eddie s.
But you better call us soon before we talk ourselves to death
Starlight open wide everybody is a star
Split screen 8-hour movies
Weve got color, weve got sound
Wont you recognize us, were everything you hate
Andy loves old hollywood movies, hell scare you hypocrites to death
You know that shooting ups for real
That person whos screaming, thats the way he really feels
Were all improvising, five movies in a week
If hollywood doesnt call us - well be sick
Starlight open wide
Do to movies what you did to art
Can you see beauty in ugliness, or is it playing in the dirt
There are stars out on the new york streets
We want to capture them on film
But if no one wants to see them
Well make another and another
Starlight let us in that magic room
Weve all dreamt of hollywood
, it cant happen too soon
Wont you give us a million dollars the rent is due
And will give you 2 movies and a painting
Starlight open wide!
