I met a man

He was a good man

Sailing and shoring

Dancing the beta can-can

Making me foreign

Oh yeah



I want to live in Los Angeles

Not the one in Los Angeles

No, not the one in South California

The got one in South Patagonia



I want to live in Los Angeles

Not the one in Los Angeles

They got a bunch down in Moleville

They got a bunch more still



I want to live in Los Angeles

Not the one is Los Angeles

They got one in twenty-five two five

Works just like a beehive



I want to live in Los Angeles

Not the one in Los Angeles

Counting helicopters on a Saturday night

The symphony of the fair light



I hear them saying Los Angeles

In all the black and white movies

And if you think they star-spangled us

How come we say Los Angeleez?



I'll wait in Los Angeles

I'll wait in the pouring sun

No way

For not anyone

No way



I met a man

He was a good man

Sailing and shoring

He got a betatron, man

Talking that foreign

Oh yeah



I'll wait in Los Angeles

I'll wait in the pouring sun

No way

For not anyone

No way
