I met a man   He was a good man   Sailing and shoring   Dancing the beta can can   Making me foreign   Oh yeah   I want to live in Los Angeles   Not the one in Los Angeles   No, not the one in South California   The good one in South Patagonia   I want to live in Los Angeles   Not the one in Los Angeles   They got a bunch down in Moleville   They got a bunch more still   I want to live in Los Angeles   Not the one is Los Angeles   They got one in twenty-five two five   Works just like a beehive   I want to live in Los Angeles   Not the one in Los Angeles   Counting helicopters on a Saturday night   The symphony of the fair light   I hear them saying Los Angeles   In all the black and white movies   And if you think they star-spangled us   How come we say Los Angeleez?   I'll wait in Los Angeles   I'll wait in the pouring sun   No way   For not anyone   No way   I met a man   He was a good man   Sailing and shoring   He got a betatron   Man   Talking that foreign   Oh yeah   I'll wait in Los Angeles   I'll wait in the pouring sun   No way   For not anyone   No way.
