[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
Or 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
Please don't you be very 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 (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
Please don't be long
Please don't you be very long
Please don't be long
Or I may be asleep

[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
