Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I met a man, he was a good man
Sailin' and shorin', dancin' the Beta Can Can
Makin' me foreign, oh yeah
[Verse 2]
I wanna live in Los Angeles, not the one in Los Angeles
Not the one in South California, they got one in South Patagonia
I wanna live in Los Angeles, not the one in Los Angeles
They got a bunch down in Moleville, they got a bunch more still
[Verse 3]
I wanna live in Los Angeles, not the one in Los Angeles
They got one in 2525, works just like a beehive
[Verse 4]
I wanna live in Los Angeles, not the one in Los Angeles
Countin' helicopters on a Saturday night, the symphony of the fair light
Oh
[Verse 5]
I hear them sayin' Los Angeles in all the black and white movies
And if you think they star-spangled us
How come we say Los Angeles?
[Verse 6]
I'll wait in Los Angeles
I'll wait in the pourin' sun
No way, for not anyone
No way
[Verse 7]
I met a man, he was a good man
Sailin' and shorin', he got a betatron, man
Talkin' that foreign, oh yeah
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 8]
I'll wait in Los Angeles
I'll wait in the pourin' sun
No way, for not anyone
No way
[Verse 9]
I'll wait in Los Angeles
I'll wait in the pourin' sun
No way, for not anyone
No way
