Down In Hollywood

Well, did you hear the good news?

There's gonna be some bad blues

Somebody said they're playin' 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 goin' on

You take me down to Vine Street

Stop when you hear the back beat

And I'll sneak past the bouncer at the back door

Now I know that he ain't lookin',  not when the band is cookin'

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

We're goin' down in Hollywood

You better hope that you don't run outta gas

Down in Hollywood

He'll drag you right outta your car and kick your ass

Down in Hollywood

They're standin' on a corner just waitin' for a sucker like you

Down in Hollywood

Now, if you wanna stay healthy just keep on moving right on through

Be careful, don't look back

Keep moving, keep moving

Well, the scotch has started flowin'

And some girl, she is showin' everything she's got

Folks, 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"

And outside the streets is shakin'

And I hear the windows breakin'

Some poor fool's gonna land in jail tonight

Well, all the hookers are tryna pull your coat

And the pimps reach out to cut your throat

Ain't no way outta here without a fight

What's that fool sayin'?

Down in Hollywood

Better hope that you don't run outta gas

Down in Hollywood

He'll drag you right outta your car and kick your ass

In Hollywood

They're standin' on a corner just waitin' for a sucker like you

Down in Hollywood

And if you wanna stay healthy just keep movin' right on through

Hi, you know you're gonna get arrested

The way those pants fit around your thighs

Oh, come back, honey, don't leave now

Hey, bud, come here, let me talk to you for a second

Give me that

Jesus, guy's a mess

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

Hitchhiked all the way from Burbank

Now, he's gonna end up in the drunk tank

Some old man  say, yeah, well, that's just the way it goes

Down in Hollywood

Down in Hollywood

Hope that you don't run outta gas

Down in Hollywood

He'll drag you outta your car and literally kick your ass

In Hollywood

They're standin' on a corner just waitin' for a sucker like you

Down in Hollywood

Well, if you wanna stay healthy just keep on movin' right on through

For truth, man, I'm tellin' you

They'll do anything down in that low-down Hollywood

Be in a world of trouble now

Lord, have mercy

Can I get a witness?
