In Hollywood they have a different language that they speakIt's spoken by those folks who went to school for just one weekIt's found inside Variety, a magazine they useAnd no one understands it when they read the movie newsLike, Hix makes pix but the flick needs fixMeans someone made a movie that bombedThe veeps in charge are now at largeMeans everyone involved is goneThe plot conflix, no beautiful chixSo it's coming out on video soonThey're taking their lix'Cause the critics say nixAnd the editors are gonna try to fix it in the mixBut the stock sees green on page thirteenMeans Disney's up a nickel a shareStallone cuts deal for a major reelMeans Rocky number six, so bewareIf you want the poop or you need the scoopLetras de cancionesOn Hollywood town this weekYou're gonna have to learn to talk that Variety SpeakBob a doo bop, a bob a doo bahBob a doo bop, a bob a doo bahA boffo smash makes Warner cashMeans there's gonna be a sequel next yearBut Paramount hurts and they're losing their shirtsMeans Schwarzenegger's doing King LearOliver Stone does next Home AloneMeans he's getting paid an arm and a legThe budget goes crunch but his name packs punchSo they called up the accountants and they're gonna do lunchWell, the ratings smile on the O.J. trialMeans a movie of the week to premiereUniversal cuts deal with Mister SpielTo do a hundred thousand movies a yearYou gotta play it smart if you wanna be partOf the crowd that's hip and chicYou're gonna have to learn to talk that Variety SpeakBob a doo bop, a bob a doo bahBob a doo bop, a bob a doo bahNormal talk makes producers walkYou might as well speak GreekYou're gonna have to learnOr the meeting will adjournUnless, my friend, you learn that variety speakBob a doo bop, a bob a doo bahBob a doo bop, a bob a doo bahBah doop bah doop bah doop bahhh dah
