| [00:30.42] | Somebody said they're playing all night long |
| [00:35.40] | So go and fill your brown bag and put on all your clean rags |
| [00:40.89] | Let's go downtown and see what's going on |
| [00:44.01] | You take me down the vine street |
| [00:48.69] | Stop when you hear the back beat |
| [00:51.66] | And i'll sneak past the bounccer at the door |
| [00:56.52] | Now i know that he ain't looking |
| [00:59.25] | Not when the band is cooking |
| [01:01.62] | Because he's watching the ladies dancing on the floor |
| [01:05.94] | Going down in hollywood |
| [01:07.89] | You better hope that you don't run out of gas |
| [01:10.20] | Down in hollywood |

| [01:49.59] | Some men will give a week's pay if she would just dance down their way and say |
| [01:55.89] | "baby, i'm gonna take you home with me tonight" |
| [02:00.45] | Outside the streets is shaking and i hear the windows breaking |
| [02:05.85] | Some poor fool's gonna land in jail tonight |
