Lyrics

(Hi, my name is Stereo Mike)
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"
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 flavor
The payback will be later, still I need a fix
And the girls on the bus kept on laughing at us
As we rode on the 10 down to Venice again
Blaring out the G-funk, sippin' on juice and gin
Just me and a friend
Feeling kind of groovy, workin' on a movie
But we did nothing, absolutely bupkis that day and I'll 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
I know that life is for the taking, so I better wise up
And take it quick
Well, some men there wanted to hurt us
And other men said we weren't worth the fuss
You could see them 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 got done son?"
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
The payback will be later, still I need a fix
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
So I ask you, what the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at twenty-six?
L.A.
L.A.
L.A.
