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 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 or I may be asleep
