L.A. River

Lyrics

1951, small town kids Got nothing to do but dream all night Of movie stars and Cadillac cars And beautiful girls and big city lights LA River dragnet coming down Boom shackalackalackalackalackalackalacka boom Shimmy, shimmy, shake, shimmy, shake, shimmy, shimmy, shimmy LA River dragnet coming down Boom shackalackalackalackalackalackalacka boom Shimmy, shimmy, shake, shimmy, shake, shimmy, shimmy, shimmy From every corner of this great old nation Good kids succumb to the depths of temptation Homecoming queens get lost in the cracks And quarterback heroes get strung out on smack LA River dragnet coming down Boom shackalackalackalackalackalackalacka boom Shimmy, shimmy, shake, shimmy, shake, shimmy, shimmy, shimmy LA River dragnet coming down Boom shackalackalackalackalackalackalacka boom Shimmy, shimmy, shake, shimmy, shake, shimmy, shimmy, shimmy You wake up one day with a monkey on your back With foil on all your windows and you're hiding all your tracks The sheriff's shotgun don't make a sound When it's pointed at your corpse after he shot you down LA River dragnet coming down Boom shackalackalackalackalackalackalacka boom Shimmy, shimmy, shake, shimmy, shake, shimmy, shimmy, shimmy LA River dragnet coming down Boom shackalackalackalackalackalackalacka boom Shimmy, shimmy, shake, shimmy, shake, shimmy, shimmy, shimmy
