Lyrics:

Look ahead as we pass, try and focus on it
I won't be fooled by a cheap cinematic trick
It must have been just a cardboard cut out of a man
Top-forty cast off from a record stand

Walkin' in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A., nobody walks in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A., nobody walks in L.A.

I don't know could've been a lame jogger maybe
Or someone just about to do the freeway strangler baby
Shopping cart pusher or maybe someone groovie
One thing's for sure, he isn't starring in the movies.
'Cause he's walkin' in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A., nobody walks in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A., only a nobody walks in L.A.

Walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'
Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'
Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'
Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'

You won't see a cop walkin' on the beat
Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'

You only see 'em drivin' cars out on the street
Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'

You won't see a kid walkin' home from school
Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'

Their mothers pick 'em up in a car pool
Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'

Walkin' in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A., nobody walks in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A., nobody walks in L.A.

Could it be that the smog's playing tricks on my eyes
or is it a rollerskater in some kind of headphone disguise
Maybe somebody who just ran out of gas,
Making his way back to the pumps the best way he can.

Walkin' in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A., nobody walks in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A., nobody walks in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A., nobody walks in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A.
Walkin' in L.A., only a nobody walks in L.A.

Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'
Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'
Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'
Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'
Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'
Nobody's walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'

Nobody walks in L.A

@JDSilence Lady Gaga is a cheap knockoff of everyone. She was created by record executives to make money, nothing original about it.

[Ryuzakiluver18]

I was in walking in L.A. yesturday, litterally

@drewvuong I have no doubt she may have some musical talent however that doesn't reflect her mainstream career. Her mainstream career is attention-driven sales which record labels and their rich executives master.

@TurboFuss1 Lady Gaga has a degree in music theory from NYU, she was classically trained on piano and co-writes her own music. She makes money from her god-given abilities. Piano, a real instrument. How many mainstream performers play anything these days? How many actually sing without electronic embellishments? Youtube Lady Gaga NYU piano, and you'll see a different side of her, and so what if she makes money, good for her.

@1stSaintsFan

Did you have your "Crop Top" going on?

[newport348]

Is it me or the drugs I took thirty years ago? " no one is walking, walking, walking. No one is walking, f*#king, walking......" Must be the echoes from the past.(*_*)

@TurboFuss1 couldn't agree more

@junkyturd Excuse me??Please read where I said Playboy Floozie.. Aspiring to an acting career since childhood, Dale was admitted to the performing arts program at Emerson College at the age of 16. Instead, she chose to work as a Bunny at the Playboy Club in Boston.[

Dale was named Boston Playboy Club Bunny of the Year in 1975.
