Drinking in L.A. (edit) Lyrics

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
ring-a-ding
Todd?
ITS ALIVE RECORD, ALIVE!

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 "Too Wong Foo,Julie Newmar" hitch
get your a** out of bed, he said:
I'll explain it on the way

but we did nothing
absolutely nothing that day
and I said,
what the hell am I doing drinking in LA
at twenty six?
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 b***kiss
that day
and I'll say
what the hell am I doing drinking in LA
at twenty six?
*with my mind on my money and my money on my mind, 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 b******* 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 twenty six?
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*

so I ask
you what the hell am I doing drinking in LA
at twenty six?

Its alive record, alive!
Yeah, my first - yeah right.
