Los Angeles is less a city than a deep, deep abyss
The kind of city where evil comes around
Dressed like a roly-poly clown
With bad tooth breath and a gold badge on
Fun for all, it's like a carnival of madness
Such a ball when all the playing is done
I know a dude who knows another dude
That they call Moose the Mooche, Moose the Mooche
Moose is a hell of a guy
The duke of Central Avenue
You'll know the mooch
From digging on his beautiful ties
And by the needle-sharpened points in his cop eyes
Fun for all, a summer city in the shade of city hall
When all the playing's done I know a dude
Who says he knows the dude they call
Moose the Mooche, Moose the Mooche
It comes to this, down to the moment when you cease
To exist, the roller coasters still swinging you around
Such crazy sounds lay all abound
All around it is an evil town
Suicide, it's like a cavalry that never quite arrives
You get the band-aid blues
Ever lost and ever so confused
He'll keep you smooth, Moose the Mooche
Moose is a hell of a guy
The duke of Central Avenue
You'll know the mooch
By digging on his beautiful ties
And by the lined-up girls giving doleful eyes
Fun for all, a summer city in the shade of city hall
When all the playing's done you know I know a dude
Who says he knows the dude they call
Moose the Mooche, Moose the Mooche
