after reading kenneth anger's 'hollywood babylon' and watching too much of marx bros., buster keaton, laurel and hardy viddys this was quite inevitable... and a nod to patsy kelly, thelma's favorite foil...

what went on at the trocadaro, was it about the roadside rest?
oh girl...

you always make it look so easy, or is this how you are?
and the future's shining brightly with a laugh and a ha-cha-cha.

someone saw you in the packard at hollywood and vine.
driving fast, as you went past, with a man hard to describe.
there were screams, and now it seems,
that it was not a pretty way to die.

you always made it look so easy, with a dance and a ha-cha-cha.
and the future was shining brightly til they put you in the car.
oh girl...

was it some girl and your friend west, or lucky and his mob?
and did they make you dance to your death garage? oh!

oh-oh girl...
