From Hollywood and Vine To the Sunset Strip There's so much going on You can lose your grip From early in the morning Until late at night They'll do you so wrong They'll do you so right
Back in L.A. Waiting for the sun to shine Back in L.A. Living down a life of crime Back in L.A. Working on another line Back in L.A. To pick up the dime You must do the time
From way up in the canyons
Where the hot winds howl To the mean city streets Where the night hawks prowl I can feel the rhythm play The whole night long Guess I'll stay in L.A. And listen to this song
Back in L.A. Waiting for the sun to shine Back in L.A. Living down a life of crime Back in L.A. Working on another line Back in L.A. To pick up the dime You must do the time
