I met a man
he was a good man.
Sailin' and shorin'
dancing the beta can-can
making me foreign, aaaah yeah.

I wanna live in Los Angeles
not the one in Los Angeles
not the one in South California
they got one in South Patagonia
I wanna live in Los Angeles
not the one in Los Angeles
They got a bunch down in moleville
they got a bunch more still.
I wanna live in Los Angeles
not the one in Los Angeles
They got one in 25-2-5
works just like a beehive.
I wanna live in Los Angeles
not the one in Los Angeles
Countin' 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 they star-spangled us
How come we say Los Anjeleez?

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.
Sailin' and shorin'
he got a Beta-tron man.
Talkin' that foreign, aaah yeah
