Drinking In L.A. - Lyrics by Bran Van 3000


Lyrics
Hi, my name is Stereo Mike.
Yeah, we got three tickets to the Bran Vanconcert happening this Monday night atthe Pacific Pallisades. You can all dial inif you want to answer a couple ofquestions, namely, what is Todd's favouritecheese. Jackie just called up and saidit was a form of Roquefort. We'll see aboutthat...
Give us a ring-ding-ding! It's a beautifulday.
Yeah Todd, this is Liquidring-a-ding-a-dinging, want those three Bran Vantickets man. Waddya think? Todd, you there?I woke up again this morning with the sun inmy eyes,
When Mike came over with a script surprise.A Mafioso story with a twist,A "
Too Wong Foo, Julie Newmar" hit,
Get your ass out of bed, he said:I'll explain it on the way.
But we did nothing, absolutely nothing thatday, and I say:
What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at26?I got the fever for the flavour, the paybackwill be late, still I need a fix.
And the girls on the bus kept on laughing atus,
As we rode on the ten down to Venice again.
Flaring out the G-
Funk,
Sipping on a juice and gin,
Just me and a friend.
Feeling kinda groovy,
Working on a movie. (
Yeah right!)
But we did nothing, absolutely butkis thatday, and I say:
What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at26?
With my mind on my money and my money onmy... Beer, beer!I know that life is for the taking, so Ibetter 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 thefuss.
We could see them all bitching by the bar,
About the fine line, between the rich andthe poor.
Then Mike turned to me and said:"
What do you think we got done son?"
We've got a conclusion, and I guess that'ssomething, so I ask you:
What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at26?I got the fever for the nectar, the paybackwill be late, still I need a fix.
We need to fix you up, call me Monday andmaybe we'll fix it all up.L.A., L.A., L.L.A, L.A.L.A., L.A., L.L.A, L.A.L.A., L.A., L.L.A.
So I ask you:
What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at26?L.A., L.A., L.A.
