  I don't want to buy it
E7                                        Am
  I just want to rent it for an hour or two

I met an old mistake, walking down the street today

Little red light on the highway
E7                                         Am
Big green light on the speedway, hey hey hey

I had a steady job, hauling items for the mob
I had a steady job, hauling items for the mob
Y'know the pay was pathetic
It's a shame those boys couldn't be more copacetic

I need a West L.A. girl, already know what I need to know
I need a West L.A. girl, already know what I need to know
Name, address and phone number
Lord and just how far to go

Looking for a chateau, twenty-one rooms but one will do
Looking for a chateau, twenty-one rooms but one will do
I don't want to rent it
I just want to use it for a minute or two

Refrain

Little red light on the highway
Big green light on the speedway, hey hey hey
Little red light on the highway
Big green light on the speedway, hey hey hey
