Warwick Dionne's, "Do You Know The Way To San Jose?"
Amway's just a great big heat wave.
Put a hunger down and bit a bar.
L. A.'s just a great big freeway.
Put a hundred down and buy a car.
Do you know the way to say, 'Jose'?
Do you know the way to San Jose?
Do you know the way to say, 'Jose'?
Do you know the way to San Jose?
L.A. is a great big freeway.
Get all hunkered down and buy a car.
L.A. is a great big freeway.
Put a hundred down and buy a car.
L.A. is a great big freeway
With a hundred down and by parts.
L.A. is a great big freeway
Put a hundred down and buy a car.
L.A.'s just a great big freeway
Put a hunger down and then you starve.
[Later]
I'm going back to find
Some peas and pie in San Jose.
L.A.'s just a great big freeway
Put a hundred down and buy a car.
[Later]
I'm going back to find
Some peace of mind in San Jose.
Put a hundred thou in my account.
Put a hundred down and buy a car.
Do you know the way to Santa Fe?
(later)
I was born and raised in Santa Fe
Do you know the way to San Jose?
(later)
I was born and raised in San Jose
Do you know the way to Santa Fe?
Do you know the way to San Jose?
Do you know the way to spend a day?
Do you know the way to San Jose?
In a week, maybe two, they'll make you starve.
In a week, maybe two, they'll make you a star.
L.A. is a great big freeway
It's a hundred thousand miles long
L.A. is a great big freeway
Put a hundred down and buy a car
I finally escaped from LA in 1986.
