Rancid - L.A. River lyrics
[Rancid - 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
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
