There's a fog upon LA
And my friends have lost their way
We'll be over soon, they said
Now, they've lost themselves instead

Please, don't be long
Please, don't you be very long
Please, don't be long
Or I may be asleep

Well, it only goes to show
And I told them where to go
Ask a p'liceman on the street
There's so many there to meet

Please, don't be long (don't be long)
Please, don't you be very long (don't be long)
Please, don't be long
Or I may be asleep

Now, it's past my bed, I know, (know)
And I'd really like to go (go)
Soon will be the break of day (day)
Sitting here in Blue Jay Way (Way)

Please, don't be long (don't be long)
Please, don't you be very long (don't be long)
Please, don't be long
Or I may be asleep

Please, don't be long
Please, don't you be very long
Please, don't be long
Please, don't you be very long
Please, don't be long
Please, don't be long
Please, don't you be very long
Please, don't be long

Don't be long
Don't be long
Don't be long
Don't be long
Don't be long
Don't be long
Don't be long
