Coming Into Los Angeles

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



Coming into Los Angeles

Bringing in a couple of keys

Don't touch my bags if you please

Mister Customs Man
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 into Los Angeles

Bringing in a couple of keys

Don't touch my bags if you please

Mister Customs Man



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
