From Hollywood and Vine
To the Sunset Strip
There's so much going on

You can lose your grip
From early in the morning
Until late at night

They'll do you so wrong
They'll do you so right


Back in L.A.
Waiting for the sun to shine
Back in L.A.

Living down a life of crime
Back in L.A.
Working 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.
Waiting for the sun to shine

Back in L.A.
Living down a life of crime
Back in L.A.

Working 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.
Waiting for the sun to shine

Back in L.A.
Living down a life of crime
Back in L.A.

Working 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
