I don't mind living
On rice and beans
It's not bad like you say
I keep it simple
You're not around
One has to pay to play
You've got fancy
Hollywood friends
Who use you for your name
At first I was hungry
But now I know
I'm better off this way
Goodnight old friend, we had our time
Stuck in your silly little rhyme
Dancing around in my sheep clothes and clown nose
Beneath your Hollywood sign
Drinking all your sunny lemonade
Oh the games we played
You're such a talker
Out making deals
Shaking hands, smoking cigars
But isn't it sad
That who you know
Means more than who you are
Goodnight old friend, we had our time
Stuck in your silly little rhyme
Dancing around in my sheep clothes and clown nose
Beneath your Hollywood sign
Drinking all your sunny lemonade
Oh the games we played
I don't like houses
That feel like hotels
You're never home anyway
Now I'm off Sunset
In a little room
But it's a place to stay
People on my street
Get up at sunrise
To bloom your azaleas each day
They don't have time
To see your Hollywood sign
Less than a mile away
Goodnight old friend, we had our time
Stuck in your silly little rhyme
Dancing around in my sheep clothes and clown nose
Beneath your Hollywood sign
Drinking all your sunny lemonade
Oh the games we played
On rice and beans
It's not bad like you say
I keep it simple
You're not around
One has to pay to play
You've got fancy
Hollywood friends
Who use you for your name
At first I was hungry
But now I know
I'm better off this way
Goodnight old friend, we had our time
Stuck in your silly little rhyme
Dancing around in my sheep clothes and clown nose
Beneath your Hollywood sign
Drinking all your sunny lemonade
Oh the games we played
You're such a talker
Out making deals
Shaking hands, smoking cigars
But isn't it sad
That who you know
Means more than who you are
Goodnight old friend, we had our time
