From Hollywood and Vine   To the Sunset Strip   There?s so much goin' on   You can lose your grip      From early in the mornin'   Until late at night   They?ll do you so wrong   They?ll do you so right      Back in L.A.   Waitin' for the sun to shine   Back in L.A.   Livin' down a life of crime   Back in L.A.   Workin' 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.   Waitin' for the sun to shine   Back in L.A.   Livin' down a life of crime   Back in L.A.   Workin' on another line   Back in L.A.   To pick up the dime   You must do the time   You must do the time      Back in L.A.   Waitin' for the sun to shine   Back in L.A.   Livin' down a life of crime   Back in L.A.   Workin' on another line   Back in L.A.   To pick up the dime   You must do the time      Back in L.A.   Waitin' for the sun to shine   Back in L.A.   Livin' down a life of crime   Back in L.A.   Workin' on another line   Back in L.A.   To pick up the dime   You must do the time      To pick up the dime   You must do the time   To pick up the dime   You must do the time      You must do the time   You must do the time   You must do the time   You must do the time   You must do the time
