Coming into Los Angeles

arlo guthrie

coming from London from over the pole
riding on a big air liner
chickens flying everywhere around the plane
never did I feel much finer
coming into Los Angeles • bringing in a couple of keys
don't touch my bags if you please Mr. Custom's man

there's a man with a ticket to Mexico
you know he couldn't look much stranger
standing in the hall with his bags 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 Mr. Custom's man

there's a hip woman walking down the moving stairs
she's tripping on the escalator
there's a guy in the line and he's blowing his mind
he's 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 Mr. Custom's man
