[Verse 1]
I'm 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 wanna buy it
I just wanna rent it for a minute or two
I met an old mistake walking down the street today
Met an old mistake walking down the street today
I didn't wanna be mean about it
But I didn't have one good thing to say

[Chorus]
West L.A. fadeaway
West L.A. fadeaway
Little red light on the highway
Big green light on the speedway

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Had a steady job hauling items for the mob
Had a steady job hauling items for the mob
Pay was pathetic
But it's a shame those boys couldn't be more copacetic

[Verse 3]
I need a West L.A. girl, already know what I need to know
Need a West L.A. girl, already know what I need to know
Name, address, phone number
Lord, and just how far to go
[Chorus]
Well, West L.A. fadeaway
West L.A. fadeaway
Little red light on the highway
Big green light on the speedway

[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
Looking for a chateau, twenty-one rooms but one will do
Looking for a chateau, twenty-one rooms but one will do
Don't wanna buy it
Just wanna rent it for a minute or two

[Chorus]
Well, West L.A. fadeaway
West L.A. fadeaway
Little red light on the highway
Big green light on the speedway

[Outro]
Little red light on the highway
Big green light on the speedway
Little red light on the highway
Big green light on the speedway
