Intro

      

Verse 1

Coming in from London from over the pole,
flying in a big airliner
Chicken flying everywhere around the plane;
could we ever feel much finer?

Chorus

Coming into Los Angeles,
bringing in a couple of keys
Don't touch my bags if you please,
Mister customs man  

Verse 2

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

Chorus

Coming into Los Angeles,
bringing in a couple of keys
Don't touch my bags if you please,
Mister customs man  
(solo)

Verse 3

Hip woman walking on the 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

Chorus

Coming into Los Angeles,
bringing in a couple of keys
Don't touch my bags if you please,
Mister customs man  

Verse 4

Coming in from London from over the pole,
flying in a big airliner
Chicken flying everywhere around the plane;
could we ever feel much finer?

Chorus

Coming into Los Angeles,
bringing in a couple of keys
Don't touch my bags if you please,
Mister customs man
