He said a mile south, there's a fast food station
The sun had just risen on a dusty path
I fell bad but he makes me feel badder
Jettin' on down at the speed of sound
Had my Jimmy hats I got to get it man
It was a nice little pub in the middle of nowhere
Ali said, "Damn, Tip, why you drive so far for?"
Left my wallet in El Segundo
Ali laid in the back so he could get rest
Just then a figure had caught my eye
Ali had the fruit punch
490 Madison, we're here, Sha
When we finished we thought for ways to get back
"Yo, Tip, man, you got what you need?"
Her and some friends on an ocean-liner ship
I ordered enchiladas and I ate 'em
Thanks, senor, as I start up the motor
To put me back into reality, here's Shaheed
I pulled over to ask were we was at
His index finger he tipped up his hat, "El Segundo"
We got gas and went on to get grub
Well describe to me what the wallet looks like?
He said, "My name is Pedro
The heat got hotter, Ali stars to curse me
Anyway a gas station we passed
Of Shaheed, "We gotta go back" when he said
Left my wallet in El Segundo
Three days coming and three more going
Left my wallet in El Segundo
'Cause I left my wallet in El Segundo"
Had no destination, we was on a quest
Chit-chit-chatter, car stars to scatter
I checked for keys and started to step
Anywhere would have been better
Come on, let's go
Left my wallet in El Segundo
Told him I pick him up so we could drive around
Drove down the Belt, got on the Conduit
She was a waitress there, put the wallet down and stared and stared
We get back and there was no slack
Came to a toll, we paid and went through it
My mother went away for a month-long trip
I had to roam so I picked up the phone
Shaheed had me covered with a hundred greenbacks
Lord, have mercy
Needed civilization, some sort of reservation
Hopped in the car and torpe'ed to the shack
I had a hunch, Ali said, "Pay for lunch", so I did it
Drove down the road for two days and a half
If you need directions, I'll tell you pronto"
He said, "All right, Tip, see you tomorrow"
Hands go in my pocket, I can't speak
My mother left a yard but I needed one more
I gotta get it, I got-gotta get it
A man with a sombrero who was four feet high
Pulled out the wallet and I saw this wicked beautiful lady
I left my wallet in El Segundo
Took the Dodge Dart, a '74
Left my wallet in El Segundo
"Why?" I said, "We gotta go
What do you know, my wallet I forget
I left my wallet in El Segundo
So we left Brooklyn and we made big tracks
She made a big mistake by leaving me home
Come on, let's go
Left my wallet in El Segundo
I gotta get it, I got-gotta get it
Thinking about the past week, the last week
I gotta get it, I got-gotta get it
Yeah, I left my wallet in El Segundo
Left my wallet in El Segundo
Dialed Ali up to see what was going down
Breaking on out, we was Northeast bound
Yo, it was a brown wallet, it had props numbers
