Seventy Seven Sunset Strip. (3X)
The street that wears a fancy label
That’s glorified in song and fable.
The most exciting people pass you by
Including a private eye.

Seventy Seven Sunset Strip (3X)
You’ll meet the high brow and the hipster
The starlet and the pony tipster
You’ll see most every kind of gal and guy Including a private eye.

KOOKIE, KOOKIE (LEND ME YOUR COMB)

CONNIE: Kookie, Kookie, lend me your comb. Kookie, Kookie? 
EDWARD: Well now, let's take it from the top and grab some wheels and on the way we'll talk about some cuckoo deals. 
C: But Kookie, Kookie, lend me your comb. Kookie, Kookie? 

E: Now you're on the way, miss, & I'm readin' you just fine. 
Don't cut out of here till we get on Cloud 9. 
C: But Kookie? 

E: I've got smog in my noggin ever since you made the scene 
C: You're the utmost! 
E: If you ever tool me out...dead, I'm the saddest, like a brain
C: The very utmost. Kookie, lend me your comb. Kookie, Kookie?

E: Man, I got my bruise lighters in my flapsy-colored pen
You're gonna send me to that planet called...you know it, baby, the end!
(sax solo)
C: Kookie, Kookie, lend me your comb. Kookie, Kookie?
E: If you ever cut out, you might be a stray cat
'Cause when I'm flyin' solo, nowhere's we're on that!
C: Kookie, Kookie, lend me your comb. Kookie, Kookie?

E: What's with this comb caper, baby? Why do you wanna latch up with my comb? 
C: I just want you to stop combing your hair...& kiss me. You're the maximum utmost. 
E: Well, I beans & I dreams goin', I'm movin' right now
'Cause that's the kind of scene that I dig...baby, you're the ginchiest!
