rlcarr (Animato):

There's a magic place
That can glorify your face.
All it takes is cash and talent,
You can star in Hollywood.
Then you'll dance along the glitterwalk,
Movie fans will point and talk,
You're the center of their view
Their fantasy come true.

["Hey good buddy, you dropped something."
  THUNK!
  clap-clap
  FLASH!]

Studios and movie agents
Sign your name and sign your soul
And add you to the cast of thousands
Hoping for that starring role.
Is it worth the fame and strife?
Sacrifice your private life
Risk your friends, your true life's dream
For minutes on the silver screen.
That's the Hollywood scene, oh.
--------------
There's a wizard of speed and time
Stepping out by the "Hollywood" sign.
Just sing the joy and love he's found
And bring it all to movie-town.
--------------
I'm the Wizard of Speed and Time
The world of film is where I shine.
I've got magic to let you see
Just where you were and want to be.
On imagination's silver screen
I can help you find your dreams, dreams, dreams, dreams...

Come all around and meet all of my friends
And dance to your wishes in a camera lens...

Watch for the Wizard in a robe of green
And I can help you find your dreams, dreams, dreams, dreams.

swmpthng (Tim Stellmach):

Well, the ancient Egyptians and the other Africans,
the Mayans, the Incas, and all the Polynesians,
all around the world, a long long time ago
people would walk wherever they had to go.

Well, they didn't have car keys and they didn't have roads.
They didn't have those ugly convenience stores and Texacos.
In fact, all around the world, a long long time ago
people would walk wherever they had to go.
