Santa Cruz Lyrics

Oo-wee how did I lose

Talkin' about a night in Santa Cruz

Oo-wee how did I lose

Talkin' about a night in Santa Cruz

Well I came to coast from L.A.

Just to give a little music to boo me away

Hey J.J. can you play Cocaine

Do After Midnight it's all the same

Oo-wee how did I lose

Talkin' about a night in Santa Cruz

Oo-wee how did I lose

I'll tell you about the night in Santa Cruz

Well we didn't play long it booed too soon

I can't do right no matter what you do

A girl in the crowd, at the finale

Shouted at me had I even turned

Another man left 'cos he didn't stay long

I thought we had played his favorite song

Hey you, pull that weight

A soon as it's cleaned up then I'll fade away

My friends and I hope you're glad to see

Me and friends coming off the street

Play, Richard

I don't mean a man can't lose

Just stay by the night in Santa Cruz

Just stay by the night in Santa Cruz

I don't mean a man can't lose
