| Well, did you hear the good news ? | |
| There's gonna be some bad blues | |
| Somebody said they're playing all night long | |
| So go and fill your brown bag and put on all your clean rags | |
| Let's go downtown and see what's going on | |
| You take me down the vine street | |
| Stop when you hear the back beat | |
| And i'll sneak past the bounccer at the door | |
| Now i know that he ain't looking | |
| Not when the band is cooking | |
| Because he's watching the ladies dancing on the floor | |
| Going down in hollywood | |
| You better hope that you don't run out of gas | |
| Down in hollywood | |
| He'll drag you right out of your car and kick your ass | |
| Down in hollywood | |
| They're standing on a corner waiting for a sucker like you | |
| Down in hollywood | |
| Now, if you want to stay healthy just keep a-moving right on through | |
| Be careful, don't look back, keep moving, keep moving | |
| Well, the scotch has started flowing | |
| And some girls she is showing everything she's got | |
| Folks, it's a sight! | |
| Some men will 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" | |
| Outside the streets is shaking and i hear the windows breaking | |
| Some poor fool's gonna land in jail tonight | |
| Well, all those hookers trying to pull your coat and the pimps reach out to cut your throat | |
| Ain't no way out of here without a fight | |
| (what's that fool saying ?) | |
| Going down in hollywood | |
| You better hope that you don't run out of gas | |
| Down in hollywood | |
| He'll drag you right out of your car and kick your ass | |
| Down in hollywood | |
| They're standing on a corner waiting for a sucker like you | |
| Down in hollywood | |
| Now, if you want to stay healthy just keep a-moving right on through | |
| Be careful, don't look back, keep moving, keep moving | |
| Voice of gay male: "hi. you know that you're going to get arrested the way that those pants fir around your thighs. oh, come back honey! don't leave now." | |
| Voice of pimp: "hey, bud. come here, let me talk to you for a second. give me that" | |
| [sounds of fists, a robbery] | |
| "cops coming" | |
| Voice of policeman (ry): "869 victor." [radio code] "jesus, this guy's a mess" | |
| Voice of other cop: "well, he's just drunk. come on, pick him up, put him in the car and take him downtown" | |
| Well, his mama told him not to go | |
| Little sister told him too | |
| But the poor boy just didn't listen | |
| Like he should have, that's too bad | |
| He hitchhiked all the way from burbank | |
| Now, he's gonna end up in drunk tank | |
| Some old man say, "yeah, well, that's just the way it goes down in hollywood" | |
| Going down in hollywood | |
| You better hope that you don't run out of gas | |
| Down in hollywood | |
| He'll drag you right out of your car and kick your ass | |
| Down in hollywood | |
| They're standing on a corner waiting for a sucker like you | |
| Down in hollywood | |
| Now, if you want to stay healthy just keep a-moving right on through | |
| For truth! man, i'm telling you | |
| Well, they'll do anything down in that low-down hollywood | |
| He'll be in a world of trouble now | |
| Lord, have mercy | |
| Can i get a witness |
