Swamp Dogg - Come To L.A. lyrics
[Swamp Dogg - Come To L.A. lyrics]
You heard about Compton, Covina, and Whittier
But that's not all that LA’s got
Hollywood, Beverly Hills
San Fernando Valley's where I live
Buy a 30, 000 dollar house
For a half million dollars or more
You need a burglar alarm, two pitbulls
And put bars on your windows and doors
Don't worry about muggers walking the street
They all workin’ for the LAPD come to LA
Go outside get some fresh air
Where is it, smog everywhere
Go to the sink to get a drink
Damn, this water stinks
Come to LA come to LA
You say you like hookers
Well this is the place for you
For a Big Mac, shake, and fries
You can have two come to LA
Cruise Santa Monica Boulevard
Malе prostitution on every block
No shirts, skin-tight jeans
So thе over the hill gang
Can see what they got
Every night and day is Halloween
At Hollywood and Vine
If you're one brick short of a load
Or just a little freaky, it's right on time
Come to LA
Mud slides all over town every time it rains
It's filling up your swimming pool
Insurance going up again what's happening
My body's starting to shake
That building look like it's fallin' on me
Earth-quake!
It happens all the time, we ignore it
In less than a minute it’s gone
So is your car, street, dog
Family, job, and home
To live in the slums of caution
A hundred fifty dollars a week
After utilities, school, transportation
It’s a luxary when you eat
Come to LA come to LA
Everybody has a BMW but nobody has a job
Work within a field without sleeping
Playing tennis and driving your car
Everybody is a movie producer
Star, or banker at large
Reelin' in big money
But at night a secruity guard come to LA
If you’re not qualified to get a job
In New York or Timbuktu
Go west my friend, opportunity
Is waiting on you
High school kids make to Mobile, Alabama
In something you'd drive to town
And the SATs is a disease
Drunks get when they're coming down
Come to LA come on out here, y'all
I’m out here sunshine, diminished minds
'Bout to have a ball
I don't know which way is up come to LA
We got plenty for everybody
But that's not all that LA’s got
Hollywood, Beverly Hills
San Fernando Valley's where I live
Buy a 30, 000 dollar house
For a half million dollars or more
You need a burglar alarm, two pitbulls
And put bars on your windows and doors
Don't worry about muggers walking the street
They all workin’ for the LAPD come to LA
Go outside get some fresh air
Where is it, smog everywhere
Go to the sink to get a drink
Damn, this water stinks
Come to LA come to LA

Well this is the place for you
