Drinking in l.a.

by Bran Van 3000

Hi, my name is Stereo Mike

Yeah, we got three tickets to the Bran Van concert
happening 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 favourite 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
Want those three Bran Van tickets man
Waddya think
Todd, you there

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 say
What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at 26
I got the fever for the flavour, 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
Flaring out the G-Funk
Sipping on a juice and gin
Just me and a friend
Feeling kinda groovy
Working on a movie

But we did nothing absolutely but kiss that day and I say
What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at 26
With my mind on my money and my money on my Beer beer
I know that life is for the taking so I 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
We 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 got a conclusion and I guess that's something so I ask you
What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at 26
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.

So I ask you
What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at 26

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