In California By Greg Rank They are sitting in an airport Staring at each others eyes On their way to Hollywood Across the clear blue skies They want to take photographs Through Charlie Chaplin’s eyes Feel the history there And watch a sun rise In California |
|
They saw waterfalls in Yosemite One thousand feet high Driving through Death Valley They watched a sandstorm fly They want to change their hair And live inside an Eagles’ song Drive for hours on end And feel like they belong In California |
|
And LA’s sister city is their own Berlin It says so on the sign in Griffith Park, In California |
|
They took a boat across the bay With a golden bridge And walked through Chinatown Just to say they did They’re going to ring a bell In front of the old mission Watch a whale swim And the seals fishing In California |
|
They want to place their hands Next to the movie stars On the Boulevard Next to the funny cars They’ll tell their friends at home The Oakland Raiderettes were so merry And they looked for famous names In a gi-normous cemetery In California |
