Well, did you hear the good news?
There's gonna be some bad blues.
Somebody said they'll play it all night long.
So go and fill your brown bag and put on all your green rags.
Let's go downtown and see what's going on.
You take me down to Vine Street.
Stop when you hear the back.
And I'll sneak past the bouncer at the door.
Now I know that he ain't looking.
Not when the band is cooking.
Cause he's watching the ladies dancing off the floor.
We're going down in [C] Hollywood.
You better hope that you don't run out again.
[Eb] Down in Hollywood.
You better pack your bags out of your car.
And kick your ass in Hollywood.
They're standing on the corner just waiting for a sucker like you.
Down in Hollywood.
I just wanna stay healthy this time.
Let's keep a moving right on through.
Be careful.
Don't look back.
Keep moving.
Keep moving.
Well, the stock just started flowing.
And some girl, she is showing everything she's got.
Oh, she's a sight.
Some men would give a week's pay if she would stand down there waiting.
Say, baby, I'm gonna take you home with me tonight.
Outside the streets shaking.
And I hear windows breaking.
Some fool's gonna land in jail tonight.
While the hookers keep trying to pull your coat in.
Hips reach out to cut your throat.
Ain't no way out of here without a fight.
Down in Hollywood.
You better hope that you don't run out again.
Down in Hollywood.
You better pack your bags out of your car.
Get out!
There is no sucker [G] like you.
Down in Hollywood.
[C] And if you wanna stay healthy, just keep a moving right [G] on through.
[C] Hi.
You know, you're gonna get arrested the way those pants stick around your thighs.
Oh, come back, honey.
Don't leave now.
Hey, bud.
Come here.
Let's talk to you for a second.
Give me that.
Oh, shut up.
Can't sleep here, Victor?
Oh, Jesus, guys.
I'm gonna pass out.
Well, you're just a dreamer.
In a car.
Well, his mama told him not to go.
And his sister told him to.
But the poor boy just didn't listen.
Lucky you.
That's too bad.
They hitchhiked all the way from Burbank.
Now he's gonna end up in the drunk.
Some old man say,
Yeah, well, it's just way cold down in Hollywood.
Down in Hollywood.
Hope that you don't run out of gas.
Down in Hollywood.
Get out of your car and literally [G] kick your ass.
Down in Hollywood.
There is no sucker like you.
Down in Hollywood.
And if you wanna stay healthy, just keep a moving right on through.
For sure.
[C] Man, I'm telling you.
Oh, shut up.
Oh, they'll do anything that'll load out Hollywood.
Be in a world of trouble now.
Lord have mercy.
