Lyrics

[00:02] Hi, my name is Stereo Mike
[00:12] Yeah, we got three tickets to the Bran Van concert
[00:14] Happening this Monday night at the Pacific Pallisades
[00:16] You can all dial in if you want to answer a couple of questions
[00:20] Namely, what is Todds favourite cheese
[00:23] Jackie just called up and said it was a form of Roquefort
[00:26] Well see about that
[00:28] Give us a ring-ding-ding
[00:29] Its a beautiful day
[00:38] Yeah Todd, this is Liquid
[00:39] Ring-a-ding-a-dinging
[00:40] Want those three Bran Van tickets man
[00:43] Waddya think?
[00:47] Todd, you there?
[00:51] I woke up again this morning with the sun in my eyes
[00:54] When Mike came over with a script surprise
[00:57] A Mafioso story with a twist
[01:00] A "Too Wong Foo, Julie Newmar" hit
[01:03] Get your ass out of bed, he said
[01:05] Ill explain it on the way
[01:08] But we did nothing
[01:10] Absolutely nothing that day
[01:13] And I say
[01:14] What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A.
[01:18] At 26?
[01:24] I got the fever for the flavour
[01:28] The payback will be late
[01:30] Still I need a fix
[01:35] And the girls on the bus kept on laughing at us
[01:39] As we rode on the 10 down to Venice again
[01:42] Flaring out the G-Funk
[01:43] Sipping on a juice and gin
[01:46] Just me and a friend
[01:48] Feeling kinda groovy
[01:49] Working on a movie
[01:51] (Yeah right!)
[01:52] But we did nothing
[01:55] Absolutely butkis that day
[01:58] And I say
[01:59] What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A.
[02:03] At 26?
[02:05] With my mind on my money and my money on my mind
[02:09] I know that life is for the taking
[02:12] So I better wise up
[02:15] And take it quick
[02:17] (Yeah, one more time at Trader Vics)
[02:21] Some men there wanted to hurt us
[02:23] And other men said we werent worth the fuss
[02:26] We could see them all bitching by the bar
[02:29] About the fine line
[02:30] Between the rich and the poor
[02:32] Then Mike turned to me and said
[02:34] "What do you think we got done son?"
[02:37] Weve found a conclusion
[02:39] And I guess thats something
[02:42] So I ask you
[02:43] What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A.
[02:48] At 26?
[02:54] I got the fever for the nectar
[02:57] The payback will be late
[02:59] Still I need a fix
[03:02] (We need to fix you up
[03:03] Call me Monday and maybe well fix it all up.)
