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.
