Midnight in Holly-wood..
[Verse 1]
Just needed to get away and have some time to think
As I walk in a somewhat empty bar and order a drink
"What can I get you?" I don't care, just make it strong
Soft music in the background, sounds like Louis Armstrong
Get a scotch on the rocks, and take my first sip, and notice
I'm sitting in front of a blonde, who's the spitting image of
Marilyn Monroe, and she's smiling at me
Then a man takes his seat, and he looks like James Dean
Maybe I'm in a dream, 'cause this is impossible
But it's hard to be logical when Marilyn
Is there staring in your eyes right across from you
Gets up and walks in my direction
Get the impression she wants to talk
"Hello stranger, how come I've never seen you before?
The name's Marilyn." Yeah, I know who you are
My name's Luke, it's nice to meet you
In the back of my mind, thinking there's no way this could be true
But I'm in..

[Verse 2]
Let me buy you a drink, bartender get her whatever she wants
"Oh, you're too kind. You know, I heard gentlemen prefer blondes."
Is that true? 'Cause I usually prefer brunettes like Audrey Hepburn
But I could be a gentleman for you
She laughed, smiled, said "That was pretty smooth,"
Then stopped to think, "I know what we should do."
Then grabbed my hand and we made our way out of the bar
She waved down an old fashioned cab and we hopped in the car
But as I look around, I don't even know where we are
But we pull up to this party and all I'm seeing are stars
Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, walking the red carpet
Get out and walk up with Marilyn on my arm
She introduces me to Ella Fitzgerald and Dean Martin
I say Hi, I don't know what the hell is going on
They all laugh, Dean pats me on the back and says come on
And we follow him in the club and the night goes on in..
