[Verse 1] There's an automatic teller machine in the emergency room There's a meter maid she arrives by broom There's a bear in the air with a lullaby And a big brown coat to keep you warm at night There's a money tree And the ladder leans up against the trunk But the steps are greased [Chorus] Hey L.A Where you from Where have you gone now Well it looks like someone's spaceship crashed In Babylon [Verse 2] There's a plastic man with a plastic knife
In a rubber hand at a drastic price Don't miss this show you will be amazed You're a shining star, a needle in the haze There's a man upstairs With the fire below There's the elevator And away you go [Chorus] [Verse 3] There's a smooth operator There's a famous Governator Everybody walks in L.A On a backward escalator It's a soul terminator It's a sea of alligators On each and every corner There's a broken hearted waiter [Chorus]
