Lyrics

6:05 p.m., outside the stadium Special delivery for Hoops McCann Brut and charisma poured from the shadow where he stood Looking good, he's a crowd-pleasing man One on one, he's schoolyard Superman Crashing the backboard, he's Jungle Jim again When it's all over We'll make some calls from my car We're a star (it's a glamour profession) (The L.A. concession) Local boys will spend a quarter Just to shine the silver bowl Living hard will take its toll Illegal fun Under the sun, boys All aboard the Carib Cannibal Off to Barbados just for the ride Jack, with his radar, stalking the dread moray eel At the wheel with his Eurasian bride On the town, we dress for action Celluloid bikers is Friday's theme I drove the Chrysler Watched from the darkness while they danced I'm the one (it's a glamour profession) I'm the one (the L.A. concession) Local boys will spend a quarter Just to shine the silver bowl Living hard will take its toll Illegal fun Under the sun, boys (Hollywood, I know your middle name) (Who inspires your fabled fools?) That's my claim to fame Jive Miguel, he's in from Bogota Meet me at midnight at Mr. Chow's Szechuan dumplings Now that the deal has been done I'm the one (it's a glamour profession) I'm the one (the L.A. concession) Local boys will spend a quarter Just to shine the silver bowl Living hard will take its toll Illegal fun Under the sun, boys Illegal fun Under the sun, boys
