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
L.A. River dragnet coming down
Boom, shaka-laka-laka-laka-laka-laka-laka, boom
Shimmy-shimmy, shake, shimmy, shake, shimmy-shimmy-shimmy
L.A. River dragnet coming down
Boom, shaka-laka-laka-laka-laka-laka-laka, boom
Shimmy-shimmy, shake, shimmy, shake, shimmy-shimmy-shimmy
From every corner
O' 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
L.A. River dragnet coming down
Boom, shaka-laka-laka-laka-laka-laka-laka, boom
Shimmy-shimmy, shake, shimmy, shake, shimmy-shimmy-shimmy
L.A. River dragnet coming down
Boom, shaka-laka-laka-laka-laka-laka-laka, 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
L.A. River dragnet coming down
L.A. River dragnet coming down
Boom, shaka-laka-laka-laka-laka-laka-laka, boom
Shimmy-shimmy, shake, shimmy, shake, shimmy-shimmy-shimmy
Boom, shaka-laka-laka-laka-laka-laka-laka, boom
Shimmy-shimmy, shake, shimmy, shake, shimmy-shimmy-shimmy
