Coming into Los Angeles Lyrics
Coming in from London from over the pond
Flyin' in a big airliner
Chickens flyin' everywhere around the plane
Could we ever feel much finer?
Comin' into Los Angeles
Bringin' 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
Walkin' in the hall with his things and all
Smilin, said he was the lone ranger
Comin' into Los Angeles
Bringin' in a couple of keys
Don't touch my bags if you please mister customs man
Hip woman walkin' on the movin' floor
Trippin' on the escalator
There's a man in the line and she's blowin' his mind
Thinkin' that he's already made her
Comin' into Los Angeles
Bringin' in a couple of keys
Don't touch my bags if you please mister customs man
Comin' in from London from over the pole
Flyin' in a big airliner
Chickens flyin' everywhere around the plane
Could we ever feel much finer?
Comin' into Los Angeles
Bringin' in a couple of keys
Don't touch my bags if you please mister customs man
Yeah, alright
Flyin' in a big airliner
Chickens flyin' everywhere around the plane
Could we ever feel much finer?
Bringin' in a couple of keys
Don't touch my bags if you please mister customs man
No, he couldn't look much stranger
Walkin' in the hall with his things and all
Smilin, said he was the lone ranger
Bringin' in a couple of keys
Don't touch my bags if you please mister customs man
Trippin' on the escalator
There's a man in the line and she's blowin' his mind
Thinkin' that he's already made her
Bringin' in a couple of keys
Don't touch my bags if you please mister customs man
Flyin' in a big airliner
Chickens flyin' everywhere around the plane
Could we ever feel much finer?
Bringin' in a couple of keys
Don't touch my bags if you please mister customs man

Truely a great song. Heard it on the Woodstock movie... wish I coulda been there.
arlo was flyin back into LA, when the jet was on approach to land arlo caught word that they were drug searching everyone getting off the plane, he ate his entire stash before the plane landed and next thing you know we have this wonderful song
If he was bringing in a coupla' kilos, I sort of doubt that he ate it all before he landed, unless this part of the story was modified for the sake of the song... It would certainly be more glamorous than if he'd had a couple of joints in his pocket, though.

This song is great. Not only musically, but the lyrics are great. I'm from LA and this song captures a darker aspect of the City well. I love LA because of its energy and its distinct character.
Hmmm... Arlo Gunthrie has done drugs? No wonder I love listening to him while smoking up.
