Drinking in L.A.

### \[Intro: James Di Salvo & Steve Hawley, *Sara Johnston*]
*Hi my name is Stereo Mike
{Radio Host 1} Yeah, we got three tickets to the Bran Van concert happening this Monday night at the Pacific Palisades
Now you can all call in if you, uh, want to answer a couple of questions
Uh, mainly what is Todd's Favorite cheese?
Uh, Jackie just called in and said it was a type of Roquefort, whatever that is
{Radio host 2}Give us a ring-a-ding-ding. It's a beautiful day

*Ooh-ah-ooh, ooh-ah-ooh*

**Liquid (Steve Hawley):** Yeah Todd, this is Liquid ring-a-ding-dinging
I want those three Bran Van tickets man
*Ooh-ah-ooh, ooh-ah-ooh*
What do you need? Todd?

(He’s alive! Alive!)

### \[Verse 1: James Di Salvo]
I woke up again this morning with the sun in my eyes
When Mike came over with a script surprise
A mafioso story with a twist
A To Wong Fu—Julie Newmar Hitch
"Get your ass out of bed!"-he said- "I'll explain it on the way!"

[Sara Johnston]
But we did nothing, absolutely nothing that day
And I say, what the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at twenty-six?
I got the fever for the flavour
The payback will be later
Still I need a fix

(Yeah, uh-huh, mm-hmm, like)

### \[Verse 2: James Di Salvo]
And the girls on the bus kept laughing at us
As we rode on the 10 down to Venice again
Blaring out the g-funk sipping on juice and gin
Just me and a friend
Feeling kind of groovy-workin' on a movie
(Yeah, right!)

### \[Chorus: Sara Johnston & *James Di Salvo*]
But we did nothing, absolutely bupkis that day
And I say, what the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at twenty-six?
*With my mind on my money and my money on my mind* (BEER!)
I know that life is for the taking so I better wise up
And take it quick
*One more time at Trader Vic’s*

### \[Verse 3: James Di Salvo]
Well some men there wanted to hurt us
And other men said we weren't worth the fuss
You could see 'em all bitching by the bar
About the fine line between the rich and the poor
Then Mike turned to me and said, "What you think we get done son?"

### \[Chorus: Sara Johnston]
We found the conclusion and I guess that's something
So I ask you, what the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at twenty-six?
I got the fever for the nectar know the payback will be later
Still I need a fix

(Yeah, fix you up)

(Come on Monday, maybe we’ll fix it all up)

### \[Breakdown: Sara Johnston]
Hell-A, L.A
Hell-Hell-A, L.A
Hell-A, L.A
Hell-Hell-A, L.A
Hell-A, L.A
Hell-Hell-A, L.A
So I ask you what the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at twenty-six?

(He’s alive! Alive!)
(Yeah, by Thursday I reckon)

### \[Outro]
