Their names are written in concrete

Don't step on Greta Garbo as you walk down the Boulevard
F#m Bm G A
She looks so weak and fragile that's why she tried to be so hard

C G
But she turned her back on stardom

Because she wanted to be alone

Rudolph Valentino looks very much alive
F#m Bm G A
And he looks up ladies dresses as they sadly pass him by

Avoid stepping on Bela Lugosi
G A
'Cause he's liable to turn and bite
C G
But stand close by Bette Davis
A D
Because hers was such a lonely life

If you covered him with garbage
G D
George Sanders would still have style

He would still turn round and smile

G A
'Cause she's not very tough

She should have been made of iron or steel
A D
But she was only made of flesh and blood

Along Hollywood Boulevard
C G D

A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes
