1. There's a fog upon L.A.
and my friends have lost their way
we'll be over soon they said
now they've lost themselves instead.

R: Please don't be long please don't you be very long
please don't be long for I may be asleep.

2. Well it only goes to show
and I told them where to go
ask a policeman on the street
there's so many there to meet.

R: Please don't be long please don't you be very long
please don't be long for I may be asleep.

3. Now it's past my bed I know
and I'd really like to go
soon will be the breath of day
sitting here in Blue Jay Way.

R: Please don't be long...
