There's a fog upon L.A. and my friends have lost their way,
"Well be over soon" they said now they've lost themselves instead
Please don't be long, please don't you be very long,
Please don't be long or I may be a sleep
Well it only goes to show and I told them where to go,
Ask a p'liceman on the street there's so many there to meet
Please don't be long, please don't you be very long,
Please don't be long or I may be a sleep
Now it's past my bed I know and I'd really like to go,
Soon will be the break of day sitting here in Blue Jay Way
Please don't be long, please don't you be very long,
Please don't be long or I may be a sleep (repeat)
