lyrics: [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
