Down In Hollywood

WRITTEN BY RYLAND COODER & TIM LEE DRUMMOND Well did you hear the good news There's gonna be some bad blues Somebody sat down and played it all night long So go on and fill your brown bag Put on all your clean rags Let's go downtown and see what's goin'on Bing, take me down to Vine Street Stop when you hear the back beat We'II sneak on past the bouncer at the door Now I know he ain't lookin' Not when that band is cookin' 'Cause he's watchin' the ladies dancin' on the floor CHORUS: Down In Hollywood Better hope that you don't run out of gas Down In Hollywood They'll drag you right out of your car and kick your ass In Hollywood There standing on a corner just waiting for a sucker like you Down In Hollywood If you wanna stay healthy, keep a movin' right on through This stuff just started flowin' And some girl she is showin everything she's got Ooh it's a sight Some men would give a week's pay If she would just dance down their way And say, "Baby, I'm gonna take you home with me tonight" Now, outside the streets are shakin' I hear a couple windows breakin' Some poor fools gonna land himself in jail tonight Well all the hookers tryin' to pull your coat All the pimps reach out to cut your throat There ain't no way out of here without a fight (REPEAT CHORUS) Now Grandma told him not to go Little sister told him too But the poor boy just didn't listen like he should, that's too bad Hitchhiked all the way from Burbank Now he's gonna end up in the drunk tank Some old man say "Well that's the way it goes Down in Hollywood" (REPEAT CHORUS) Down in Hollywood Down in Hollywood Ooh down in Hollywood Down in Hollywood Down in Hollywood Ooh in Hollywood Down in Hollywood Down in Hollywood Down in Hollywood
