There's a fog upon l.a.

And my friends have lost their way

We'll be over soon they said

Now they've lost themselves instead.

Please don't be long please don't you be very long

Please don't be long or i may be asleep

Well it only goes to show

And i told them where to go

Ask a policeman on the street

There's so many there to meet

Please don't be long please don't you be very long

Please don't be long or i may be asleep

Now it's past my bed i know

And i'd really like to go

Soon will be the break of day

Sitting here in blue jay way

Please don't be long please don't you be very long

Please don't be long or i may be asleep.

Please don't be long please don't you be very long

Please don't be long

Please don't be long please don't you be very long

Please don't be long

Please don't be long please don't you be very long

Please don't be long

Don't be long - don't be long - don't be long

Don't be long - don't be long - don't be long.
