Well, they say this place is evil
That ain't why I stay
'Cause I found something
That will never be nothing
And I found it in L. A.
It was midnight in Topanga
I heard the DJ say There's a full moon rising
Join me in L. A.

Wake up . . . wake up
I was at the Tropicana
On a dark and sultry day
Had to call someone long distance
I said "Join me in L. A."
Join me in L. A.
