From Madam Wong's to Starwood
To the Whiskey on the Strip
You can hear the crashing, blasting strum
Of bands that come to be real hip
And get a record contract
From a talent scout some day

To get a record deal, he said,
They would have to be more punk
Forget their chops and play real dumb
Or else they would be sunk
So off they go to S.I.R. to learn some stupid riffs
Oh no! No no no no no no no no! Cause the aces are good
And when they think they've got it

Who gives a fuck if what they play
Is somewhat insincere

Everybody!
Dance the blues again
Come on and
Dance the blues again
Get down from the...
I write the songs that make the young girls cry!
Did you know that in Tinsel Town the people down there-aca
