35mm Dreams

I got 35 millimeter dreams
And Greta Garbo’s here
Queen of the movie queens
She’s playin’ hard to get

She wants her tea and her toast
She hasn’t got none yet
She just flew in from the coast
But she loves Broadway best

I got 35 millimeter dreams
35 millimeter dreams
35 millimeter dreams

John Garfield cries out loud
And Humphrey Bogart smiles
Bette Davis she weeps
She plays the pure white slave

There goes her Rolls Royce car
Her loyal fans all wave
Here comes a full blown star
But Brando’s still the rave

I got 35 millimeter dreams
35 millimeter dreams
35 millimeter dreams

Bump into Orson Welles
Everybody says he’s workin’ on a script
They say it’s rated X
Mae West will never tell

It’s starring Cary Grant
And Valentino’s vamps
And Charlie Chaplin’s tramps
And Jolie Jolson he chants

I got 35 millimeter dreams
35 millimeter dreams
35 millimeter dreams
35 millimeter dreams
35 millimeter dreams
35 millimeter dreams
35 millimeter dreams
