I hang my head down on Hollywood
'Cause either way you look down it's just stars
And I'm making my way down the Cherokee
To get drunk in a bar
And I know my friends, they worry about me
I can see it written on their face
Despite anything that I said before
The bar is a beautiful place
Sha-na-na-na
Sha-na-na-na
Sha-la-la-la
Shla-na-na
Sha-na-na-na
Sha-la-la-la
I got a cold in my heart that the doctor can't feel
He said "go get you a beer"
But they don't let the sunshine come in here.
Sha-la
Sha-la-la-la
Where the hookers and thieves and the junkies play
It's a circus round here for sure
And I worry about how I'm fitting in
If I only had her
And I know my friends they worry about me
I can see it written on their face
But despite anything I might have said before,
The bar is a beautiful place
Sha-na-na-na
Sha-na-na-na
Sha-la-la-la
Sha-na-na-na
Shala-na-na
Sha-la-la-la
Ain't it strange, I see your face in the window of a store
Holding me back from throwing my bottles out at the cars
Sha-la
Sha-la-la-la
So hey there, Miss Samuels
Hey Laura, I'm thinking of you
Would you take an old drunk as-is
If he was sweet to you
And tomorrow, you'll probably give up on me
I won't blame you, hell I'll celebrate
'Cause despite anything you may have said to me
The bar is a beautiful place
Sha-na-na-na
Sha-na-na-na
Sha-la-la-la
Sha-na-na-na
Sha-na-na-na
Sha-la-la-la
