Beatles - Blue Jay Way

Blue Jay Way - Songfacts

George Harrison was waiting for Derek Taylor at a house in L.A. on Blue Jay Way, Derek called to say he would be late, he said he was sure he would be able to find the house, even told George if he couldn't find the place, "he could always ask a cop if he got lost, there was 'plenty' of cops in L.A".

George discovered a little organ over in the corner while waiting at the house, sat down and started playing, he started building upon the fog he noticed developing in the early, early morning, then as he became tired and irritable, he developed the chant please don't be long, please don't you be very long.

There's a fog upon L.A.

And my friends have lost their way

We'll be over soon they said

Now they've lost themselves instead

Please don't be long, please don't you be very long

Please don't be long or I may be asleep

Well it only goes to show

And I told them where to go

Ask a policeman on the street

There's so many there to meet

Please don't be long, please don't you be very long

Please don't be long or I may be asleep

Now it's past my bed I know

And I'd really like to go

Soon will be the break of day

Sitting here in Blue Jay Way

Please don't be long, please don't you be very long

Please don't be long or I may be asleep

Please don't be long, please don't you be very long

Please don't be long

Please don't be long, please don't you be very long

Please don't be long

Please don't be long, please don't you be very long

Please don't be long

Don't be long-don't be long-don't be long-don't be long

Don't be long-don't be long-don't be long

I remember when we were going through Beverly Hills when I was with my friend in 1998, it took all I had to not ask her to drive through Blue Jay Way just because to appease the Beatles fan in me. I thought she would think I was too weird or something.

I saw it on a map, though, and I can see how people would have gotten lost looking for it. It's pretty removed from a main road.
