Gollywood (2):

Gollywood (2):
There's a very, very special place . . .

Lovingly called . . .

Gollywood.

It's a rare little town that people go . . .

When they wanna escape . . .

Hollywood.

Now . . .

The reason people like Gollywood so much . . .

Is 'cause the folks in Gollywood . . .

Pride themselves on being so darn nice . . .

On being nice to almost everyone (almost) . . .

And even being nice to weird family members and friends who call late at night . . .

And even being nice to nosy neighbors . . .

And . . .

Um . . .

Even being sorta (kinda) nice to wannbe newcomers who've just migrated to town.

Y'know, it doesn't matter if you're famous or not (well, maybe just a little bit) . . .

But anyway . . .

You don't have to have your picture on a magazine cover . . .

(Of course, it helps) . . .

'Cause everyone is special in Gollywood.

You can always find a friendly smile (most of the time) . . .

A warm conversation . . .

A caring soul (if you really look) . . .

In the place they call Gollywood . . .

In the place that people love so much (on the sunny days) . . .

'Cause it ain't . . .

Hollywood.

Yeah, even the dogs are extra sweet in Gollywood.

Well . . .

Most of 'em (there are a few blue meanies).

Or maybe . . .

Most of the lovable mutts -- just seem . . .

Sorta . . .

Nice . . .

'Cause their owners live in . . .

Gollywood.

Hey, honest. It's true.

A lot of Gollywood dogs . . .

Will jump up . . .

And lick the face of a newcomer . . .

Even without a formal introduction.

But that's why people like Gollywood so much. It's just a very, very, very special place.

And, um, trying to figure out why it's such a special place . . .

Is . . .

Well . . .

Sorta hard.

Maybe it's 'cause there's so many wonderfully tall trees in Gollywood.

Of course, there's not much traffic, really . . .

'Cause folks like to walk to where they wanna go . . .

And ride their mountain bikes . . .

And take the bike-friendly buses.

Oh, gosh.

Whoa.

Well, just wanted to tell you about Gollywood. So -- if you ever get a chance to come and visit . . .

Let me tell ya . . .

You shouldn't worry . . .

'Cause the folks are real nice . . .

In this very, very special place they call . . .

Gollywood.
