    Slippin' away, sittin' on a pillow
    Waitin' for night to fall
    A girl and a dream, sittin' on a pillow
    This is the night to go to the celebrity ball

    Satin and lace, isn't it a pity
    Didn't find time to call
    Ready or not, gonna make it to the city
    This is the night to go to the celebrity ball

    Dress up tonight, why be lonely?
    You'll stay at home and you'll be alone
    So why be lonely?
    Sittin' alone, sittin' on a pillow
    Waitin' to climb the walls
    Maybe tonight, depending how your dream goes
    She'll open her eyes when she goes to the celebrity ball

    Dress up tonight, why be lonely?
    You'll stay at home and you'll be alone
    So why be lonely?
    Celebrate, celebrate, dance to the music

    Yup, I'm not gonna pay for it. I'm a little surprised they couldn't make it work with the ad model. But then lots of us know how to block ads on hulu. I wouldn't have a problem with ads if they didn't run the same #(*#$*# ad six times in he space of a 40 minute block.
