Fresh scrubbed hot off the bus
Dressed up and feeling good
Eyes full of stars a heart full of dreams
Daisy Mae in Hollywood

Struttin' down the boulevard
The walkway of the stars
With a vision of her name in lights
Reflecting off the cars

And dreaming of a white limozeen
She wants to have a white limozeen

Well, the days to come were long and dark
And the nights were hard and cold
She met the devil in the City of Angels
But she never lost her soul

She kept her dreams close to her heart
Like a family photograph
She cried sometimes and died sometimes
But still she knows how to laugh

Dreaming of a white limozeen
Dreaming of a white limozeen

Now she's a living her dreams like a movie queen
Diamond rings and all things good
From the breadlines to the headlines
She's the toast of Hollywood

White limozeen
White limozeen

Now she's really ridin' high
She's a woman of the world
But deep inside she never changed
She's the same old down home girl

And when the airplane brings the kinfolk
To visit for awhile
There's a friendly guy in a red bow tie
To take 'em around in style

He drives 'em in a white limozeen
She finally got a white limozeen

Now she's a living her dreams like a movie queen
Diamond rings and all things good
From the breadlines to the headlines
She's the toast of Hollywood

She was fresh scrubbed hot off the bus
Dressed up and feelin' good
Eyes full of stars a heart full of dreams
Daisy Mae in Hollywood

She goes struttin' down the boulevard
The walkway of the stars
With a vision of her name in lights
Reflectin' off the cars

And dreamin' of a white limozeen
She finally got a white limozeen
Oh, ridin' in a white limozeen

Limozeen, a white limozeen
A big white limozeen
Limozeen, a white limozeen
A big white limozeen

Limozeen, a white limozeen
A big white limozeen
Limozeen, a white limozeen
A big white limozeen

Limozeen, a white limozeen
A big white limozeen
Limozeen, a white limozeen
A big white limozeen

Limozeen, a white limozeen
A big white limozeen
Limozeen, a white limozeen
A big white limozeen

Limozeen, a white limozeen
A big white limozeen
Limozeen, a white limozeen
A big white limozeen
