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

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 policeman on the street
There's so many there to meet

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

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

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