"Blue Jay Way" Lyrics

by George Harrison

Original Manuscript, written on Robert Fitzpatrick Associates letterhead (1967)

There's a fog on Blue Jay Way upon L.A.
and my friends have lost their way.
We'll be over soon they said,
Now they've lost their way instead.
Please don't be long
or else I'll 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

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.

When I see you at the door
I'll know your [sic] worth waiting for
for and the moment when you speak -
I know I'd wait here all week.

As Released by the Beatles (1967)

There's a fog upon LA
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 (only, 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 (don't be long)
Please don't you be very long (don't be long)
Please don't be long or I may be asleep.

Now it's past my bed I know (know)
And I'd really like to go (go)
Soon will be the break of day (day)
Sitting here in Blue Jay Way (way).

Please don't be long (don't be long)
Please don't you be very long (don't be 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 be long
Please don't you be very long
Please don't be long.

Don't be long - don't be long
Don't belong, don't be long

Don't belong
Don't be long
Don't belong.
