[Intro] [bright upright piano playing syncopated chords] [Verse 1] Hollywoodland starting its golden age While dust bowl devils and a depression raged But she was always destined For more than just a stage So it was Britain to Broadway onto LA Then a ladder to the top of the H [Chorus] Peg, don't you jump Peg, come down now Peg, It was almost time for you to light up the screen But now there's a ghost in the hills The ghost of girl thirteen Girl thirteen [Verse 2] You should have kissed Clark, climbed buildings with Kong Mr. Postman, her daddy wants to know what took so long To get the message to her That she belonged So it was up Vine to Beachwood onto the sign Then a latter to the top of the H [Chorus] [bass and strings enter] Peg, don't you jump Peg, come down now Peg, It was almost time for you to fully be seen But now there's a ghost in the hills The ghost of girl thirteen Girl thirteen [Instrumental Break] [piano melody with light cymbal accents and strings] [Bridge] [piano becomes more sparse, strings drop out] If you're ever out on the Brush Canyon trail And suddenly you can smell fresh gardenias Then congrats, you've just met the ghost of Miss Peg Entwistle [Chorus] [full ensemble returns] Peg, don't you jump Peg, come down now Peg, It was almost time for you to light up the screen But now there's a ghost in the hills The ghost of girl thirteen Girl thirteen [piano final chord]
