Down In Hollywood

Well did you hear the good news

There's gonna be some bad blues

Somebody sat down and played it all night long

So go on and fill your brown bag

Put on all your clean rags

Let's go downtown and see what's goin'on

Bing, take me down to Vine Street

Stop when you hear the back beat

We'II sneak on past the bouncer at the door

Now I know he ain't lookin'

Not when that band is cookin'

'Cause he's watchin' the ladies dancin' on the floor

CHORUS:

Down In Hollywood

Better hope that you don't run out of gas

Down In Hollywood

They'll drag you right out of your car and kick your ass

In Hollywood

There standing on a corner just waiting for a sucker like you

Down In Hollywood

If you wanna stay healthy, keep a movin' right on through

This stuff just started flowin'

And some girl she is showin everything she's got

Ooh it's a sight

Some men would 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"

Now, outside the streets are shakin'

I hear a couple windows breakin'

Some poor fools gonna land himself in jail tonight

Well all the hookers tryin' to pull your coat

All the pimps reach out to cut your throat

There ain't no way out of here without a fight

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Now Grandma told him not to go

Little sister told him too

But the poor boy just didn't listen like he should, that's too bad

Hitchhiked all the way from Burbank

Now he's gonna end up in the drunk tank

Some old man say "Well that's the way it goes Down in Hollywood"

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Down in Hollywood Down in Hollywood Ooh down in Hollywood

Down in Hollywood Down in Hollywood Ooh in Hollywood

Down in Hollywood Down in Hollywood Down in Hollywood
