Verse 1:
There’s a fog upon L.A
And my friends have lost their way
“We’ll be over soon,” they said
Now, they’ve lost themselves instead

Chorus:
Please, don’t be long
Please, don’t you be very long
Please, don’t be long
For I may be asleep

Verse 2:
Well, it only goes to show
And I told them where to go
Ask a policeman on the street
There’s so many there to meet

Chorus:
Please, don’t be long (Don’t be long)
Please, don’t you be very long (Don’t be long)
Please, don’t be long
Or I may be asleep

Verse 3:
Now, it’s past my bed I know (Know)
And I’d really like to go (Go)
Soon will be the break of day (Day)
Sitting here in Blue Jay Way (Way)

Chorus:
Please, don’t be long
Please, don’t you be very long
Please, don’t be long
Or I may be asleep
Please, don’t be long
Please, don’t you be very long
Please, don’t be long
Please, don’t be long
Please, don’t you be very long
Please, don’t be long
Please, don’t be long
Please, don’t you be very long
Please, don’t be long

Outro:
Don’t be long, don’t be long
Don’t be long, don’t be long
Don’t be long, don’t be long
Don’t be long, don’t be long
