Nakatomi Plaza (The Ballad of John and Hans) Lyrics

It's Christmas Eve. I'm visiting my wife

She knows I land in LAX

I'm told to make fists with my toes

I get in the limo

Driver seems cool

I tell him to take me to the

Nakatomi Plaza

That's where it goes down

At the Nakatomi Plaza

The hottest joint in town

Walk through the lobby

This place is not that great

It's a shame

I go to check in

And of course she's changed her name

Why would she do that

When we're still together

Does this mean that it's over now that she works at the

Nakatomi Plaza

Is this how it ends

At the Nakatomi Plaza

With her LA friends

The hostages scream. It's music to my ears

They know

But something's up

The elevator dings

Now I have a machine gun ho ho ho

Now what can this mean?

There goes my relief

Who dares mess with an exceptional thief at the

Nakatomi Plaza

The plan was going so well

At the Nakatomi Plaza

Now this cowboy's putting me through hell

So I send out Karl to stop this menace

He's rash

But his lust for vengeance is greater

He must find my detonator

And Cleo's almost in

The time that he spent

Soon we'll all be on the beach earning 20% from the

Nakatomi Plaza

We just need the code

At the Nakatomi Plaza

I can feel the joy of ode

What the hell are you doing down here how'd you get away

(You're one of them you're one of them Please don't kill me I don't want to die)

I'm not

If you want to stay alive you'll stick with me

What do you say

(Clay, Bill Clay Hey)

Ok

Nakatomi Plaza

I get all the luck

(I've got him now I've got him now)

At the Nakatomi Plaza

Hey what the fuck

(I've got him now I've got him now)

Very clever, cowboy

Well, well, well, Hans

That's enough

You ought to be on fucking TV with that accent

Yeah, yeah, you think you're so tough

What a mouth you've got

Of the highest class

Well what would you do if I shot all a glass

In the Nakatomi Plaza

Now your goose is cooked

(What do I do, what do I do)

At the Nakatomi Plaza

Bare feet overlooked

(What do I do, what do I do)

At the Nakatomi Plaza

The Nakatomi Plaza

At the the Nakatomi Plaza

The Nakatomi
