35 Millimeter Dreams - Garland Jeffreys LIVE ♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫

Fixated movie star fever with as many names as I could conjure and still make sense. Today I'd include Pacino, De Niro, Duvall, Eastwood, Finney and Streep.
All the Best,
Garland

35 MILLIMETER 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 his 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
