Coming Into Los Angeles

Coming Into Los Angeles
Words and Music by Arlo Guthrie

Coming in from London
From over the pole
Flying in a big airliner
Chickens flying everywhere around the plane
Could we ever feel much finer?

Coming into Los Angeles
Bringing in a couple of keys
Don't touch my bags if you please
Mister Customs Man

There's a guy with a ticket to Mexico
No, he couldn't look much stranger
Walking in the hall with his things and all
Smiling, said he was the Lone Ranger

Hip woman walking on a moving floor
Tripping on the escalator
There's a man in the line
And she's blowing his mind
Thinking that he's already made her

Coming in from London
From over the pole
Flying in a big airliner
Chickens flying everywhere around the plane
Could we ever feel much finer?

I look forward to meeting you one day, and Nini too! More SoCal Du'ers! How cool is that?

I like to build suspense.

I just felt that my response was the most appropriate I could come up with! Looking forward, if you will, the way I felt that you were! Oh the suspense...

It's KILLING me! lololol...

:hi:

Anyone else interested??

I used to go to gatherings we had when I lived in Seattle.

There are quite a few of us here...we could really have some fun, and show those Boston DU'ers a thing or two...heheh

East coast=posers. :P

I live in La Crescenta -- near Glendale.

This is a problem in such a large area as LA; I live over in Manhattan Beach, next door to LAX!

We'll have to work on this one, hmmmm?


:hi:

I like the version on the Woodstock soundtrack with the shouts of "Marijuana!" that kick it off. (Actually, that's the only version I've heard, but still...)

I don't smoke weed, but like stoner songs; just as I love drinking songs but don't drink. Go figure.

Not much into the weed, but I love the outlaw mythos as much as the next person. :-)
