Down In Hollywood lyrics

WRITTEN BY RYLAND COODER & TIM LEE DRUMMOND

Well did you hear the good news
There`s gonna be some bad blues
Somebody sat down and played it all night long
So go on and fill your brown bag
Put on all your clean rags
Let`s go downtown and see what`s goin`on
Bing, take me down to Vine Street
Stop when you hear the back beat
We`II sneak on past the bouncer at the door
Now I know he ain`t lookin`
Not when that band is cookin`
`Cause he`s watchin` the ladies dancin` on the floor

CHORUS:

Down In Hollywood
Better hope that you don`t run out of gas
Down In Hollywood
They`ll drag you right out of your car and kick your ass
In Hollywood
There standing on a corner just waiting for a sucker like you
Down In Hollywood
If you wanna stay healthy, keep a movin` right on through

This stuff just started flowin`
And some girl she is showin everything she`s got
Ooh it`s a sight
Some men would give a week`s pay
If she would just dance down their way
And say, `Baby, I`m gonna take you home with me tonight`

Now, outside the streets are shakin`
I hear a couple windows breakin`
Some poor fools gonna land himself in jail tonight
Well all the hookers tryin` to pull your coat
All the pimps reach out to cut your throat
There ain`t no way out of here without a fight

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Now Grandma told him not to go
Little sister told him too
But the poor boy just didn`t listen like he should, that`s too bad
Hitchhiked all the way from Burbank
Now he`s gonna end up in the drunk tank
Some old man say `Well that`s the way it goes Down in Hollywood`
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Down in Hollywood Down in Hollywood Ooh down in Hollywood
Down in Hollywood Down in Hollywood Ooh in Hollywood
Down in Hollywood Down in Hollywood Down in Hollywood
