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
for 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
for I may be asleep.
Please don't be long,
please don't you be very long.
Please don't be long
for I may be asleep.
Please don't be long,
please don't you be very long.
Please don't be long
for I may be asleep.
Please don't be long,
please don't you be very long.
Please don't be long
for I may be asleep.
Don't be long, don't be long, don't be long.
