It’s good to live in L.A; those bad jokes won’t go away.
Our smog and freeways will stay; but we’ve come a long way, we’ve grown up.
Do you want concerts and games or see a few famous names
They climb a tier still grand, the natives all healthy and tanned.
We have the fanciest cars, some of the swankiest bars.
We can dine at the Bowl; take a stroll down a street made of stars
We can dress up or hang loose; we even have a Spruce Goose
Change of scene, rent a new limousine and have brunch on the Queen.
We have the mountains and shores; our town is never a bore
You’ll like museums and zoos; there’s no question whose are the best
We used to be a small town; ‘til people came from around
Now we have restaurants galore, your favorite store and what’s more
L.A. is crazy but nice, and movies added for spice
No prodding was needed; I heeded the “go west” advice
But if you don’t like the view, then don’t call us we’ll call you
They sing about oceans all covered with foam
You better believe, we have one of our own
You see all the stars from the park with a dome
L.A is my home
