Well, did you hear the good news ? | |
There's gonna be some bad blues | |
Somebody said they're playing all night long | |
So go and fill your brown bag and put on all your clean rags | |
Let's go downtown and see what's going on | |
You take me down the vine street | |
Stop when you hear the back beat | |
And i'll sneak past the bounccer at the door | |
Now i know that he ain't looking | |
Not when the band is cooking | |
Because he's watching the ladies dancing on the floor | |
Going down in hollywood | |
You better hope that you don't run out of gas | |
Down in hollywood | |
He'll drag you right out of your car and kick your ass | |
Down in hollywood | |
They're standing on a corner waiting for a sucker like you | |
Down in hollywood | |
Now, if you want to stay healthy just keep a-moving right on through | |
Be careful, don't look back, keep moving, keep moving | |
Well, the scotch has started flowing | |
And some girls she is showing everything she's got | |
Folks, it's a sight! | |
Some men will give a week's pay if she would just dance down their way and say | |
"baby, i'm gonna take you home with me tonight" | |
Outside the streets is shaking and i hear the windows breaking | |
Some poor fool's gonna land in jail tonight | |
Well, all those hookers trying to pull your coat and the pimps reach out to cut your throat | |
Ain't no way out of here without a fight | |
(what's that fool saying ?) | |
Going down in hollywood | |
You better hope that you don't run out of gas | |
Down in hollywood | |
He'll drag you right out of your car and kick your ass | |
Down in hollywood | |
They're standing on a corner waiting for a sucker like you | |
Down in hollywood | |
Now, if you want to stay healthy just keep a-moving right on through | |
Be careful, don't look back, keep moving, keep moving | |
Voice of gay male: "hi. you know that you're going to get arrested the way that those pants fir around your thighs. oh, come back honey! don't leave now." | |
Voice of pimp: "hey, bud. come here, let me talk to you for a second. give me that" | |
[sounds of fists, a robbery] | |
"cops coming" | |
Voice of policeman (ry): "869 victor." [radio code] "jesus, this guy's a mess" | |
Voice of other cop: "well, he's just drunk. come on, pick him up, put him in the car and take him downtown" | |
Well, his mama told him not to go | |
Little sister told him too | |
But the poor boy just didn't listen | |
Like he should have, that's too bad | |
He hitchhiked all the way from burbank | |
Now, he's gonna end up in drunk tank | |
Some old man say, "yeah, well, that's just the way it goes down in hollywood" | |
Going down in hollywood | |
You better hope that you don't run out of gas | |
Down in hollywood | |
He'll drag you right out of your car and kick your ass | |
Down in hollywood | |
They're standing on a corner waiting for a sucker like you | |
Down in hollywood | |
Now, if you want to stay healthy just keep a-moving right on through | |
For truth! man, i'm telling you | |
Well, they'll do anything down in that low-down hollywood | |
He'll be in a world of trouble now | |
Lord, have mercy | |
Can i get a witness |
