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.
