Hi, my name is Stereo Mike
Yeah, we got 3 tickets to the Bran Van concert 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 3 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 "To 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'll say:
What the hell am I doing drinking in LA 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 juice and gin
Just me and a friend
Feeling kinda groovy
Working on movie. (*yeah right!*)
But we did nothing, absolutely butkis that day, and I'll say:
What the hell am I doing drinking in LA 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'd better wise up,
and take it quickly
Yeah one more time at Trader vics
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 LA 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 LA at 26?
*these are mine, are mine!*
Hell - A - L.A.
Hell, hell - A - L.A.
