Drinking In L.A. Lyrics

Hi, my name is Stereo Mike

Yeah, we got three tickets to the Bran Van concert this Monday night at the Pacific Pallisades. You can all dial in if you want to answer a couple of questions, namely, what is Todd's favorite cheese? Jackie just called up and said it was a form of Roquefort. We'll see about that...

Give us a ring-ding-ding! It's a beautiful day

Yeah Todd, this is Liquid ring-a-ding-a-dinging
I want those three Bran Van tickets, man
Whaddya think?
Todd?
...Its a live record, a live!
Todd?


I woke up again this morning with the sun in my eyes
When Mike came over with a script surprise
A Mafioso story with a twist
A "Too Wong Foo, Julie Newmar" hitch
Get your ass out of bed, he said
I'll explain it on the way

But we did nothing
Absolutely nothing that day and I'll say
What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at twenty six?
I got the fever for the flavor
The payback will be later, still I need a fix

And the girls on the bus kept on laughing at us
As we rode on the ten down to Venice again
Blaring out the G-funk, sipping on juice and gin
Just me and a friend
Feeling kinda groovy, working on movie
(Yeah right!)

But we did nothing
Absolutely buttkiss that day and I'll say
What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at twenty six?
With my mind on my money and my money on my, beer! beer!
I know that life is for the taking, so I'd better wise up
And take it quick

(Yeah, one more time at Trader Vic's)

Some men there wanted to hurt us
And other men said we weren't worth the fuss
You could see them all bitching by the bar
About the fine line between the rich and the poor
Then Mike turned to me and said
"What do you think we got done, son?"

We've found a conclusion
And I guess that's something
So I ask you:
What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at twenty six?
I got the fever for the nectar
The payback will be later, still I need a fix

(We need to fix you up
Call me Monday
And maybe we'll fix it all up)

Hell-A, L.A.
Hell-Hell-A, L.A.
Hell-A, L.A.
Hell-Hell-A, L.A.
Hell-A, L.A.
Hell-Hell-A

So I ask you:
What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at twenty six?

Its a live record, a live!
Yeah, my first record


L.A.
L.A.
L.A.
L.A.
