I Left My Wallet in El Segundo

My mother went away for a month-long trip

Her and some friends on an ocean-liner ship

She made a big mistake by leaving me home

I had to roam so then picked up the phone

Dialed Ali up to see what was going down

Told him I pick him up, so we could drive around

Took the Dodge Dart, a `74

My mother left a yard but I needed one more

Shaheed had me covered with a hundred green backs

So we left Brooklyn and we made big tracks

Drove down the Belt, got on the Conduit

Came to a toll, we paid and went through it

Had no destination, we was on a quest

Ali laid in the back so he could get rest

Drove down the road for two-days-and-a-half

The sun had just risen on a dusty path

Just then a figure had caught my eye

A man with a sombrero who was four feet high

I pulled over to ask where we was at

His index finger he tipped up his hat

''El Segundo,'' he said, ''my name is Pedro.

If you need directions, I tell you pronto''

Needed no civilization, some sort of reservation

He said a mile south, there´s a fast food station

Thanks, senor, as I started the motor

Ali said, ''Damn, Tip, why you drive so far for?''

When he said ''why?'' I said we gotta go

Cause I left my wallet in El Segundo

I left my wallet in El Segundo

Left my wallet in El Segundo

Left my wallet in El Segundo

I gotta get it I got got to get it

I left my wallet in El Segundo

Left my wallet in El Segundo

Left my wallet in El Segundo

Come on, let´s go

Anyway, a gas station we passed, we got gas

And went on to get grub, there was a nice little pub

In the middle of nowhere, anywhere would have been better

I ordered Enchladas and I ate `em

Ali had the fruit punch

When we finished we thought for ways toget back

I had a hunch

Ali said, '' Pay for lunch'', so I did it

Pulled out the wallet and I saw this wicked beautiful Lady

She was a waitress there

Put the wallet down and stared and stared

To put me back into reality, here´s Shaheed:

''Yo,Tip, man, got what you need?''

I checked for keys and started to step

What do you know, my wallet I forget.

I left my wallet in El Segundo

Left my wallet in El Segundo

Left my wallet in El Segundo

I gotta get it, I got got to get it

I left my wallet in El Segundo

Left my wallet in El Segundo

Left my wallet in El Segundo

Come on, let´s go

Lord, have mercy, the heat got hotter

Ali starts to curse me

I feel bad but he makes me feel badder

Chit-chit-chatter, car starts to scatter

Breaking on out, we was Northeast bound

Jettin´ on down at the speed of sound

Three days coming, three more going

We get back and there was no slack

490 Madison, we`re here, Sha

He said,''All right, Tip, see you tomorrow''

Thinking about the past week, the last week

Hands go in my pocket, I can´t speak

Hopped in the car and torpe`ed to the shack

Of Shaheed, ''We gotta go back!''

When he said,''why?'', I said we gotta go

Cause I left my wallet in El Segundo

I left my wallet in El Segundo

Left my wallet in El Segundo

Left my wallet in El Segundo

I gotta get it, I got got to get it

I left my wallet in El Segundo

Left my wallet in El Segundo

Left my wallet in El Segundo

Come on, let´s go !
