The Lyrics
Chicago, New York, San Francisco, St. Louis and even some little podunks have well-known, singable songs, but not Los Angeles. Until now. Here, following the pattern of My Romance, is a list of major features L A does not have, ending on a positive note, as did the original.
My L. A.
Doesn't have a Gateway Arch in the sky.
My L. A.
Never had a freedom march passing by.
No Big Ben clock,
No cable cars,
No famous rock,
Just movie stars.
My L. A.
Doesn't need space needles there in the blue,
Nor a bay
With a bridge that has a rare golden view.
In my L. A.
I can make my most fantastic dreams come true.
Our L. A.
Is the place for me and you.
Doesn't have a Gateway Arch in the sky.
My L. A.
Never had a freedom march passing by.
No Big Ben clock,
No cable cars,
No famous rock,
Just movie stars.
My L. A.
Doesn't need space needles there in the blue,
Nor a bay
With a bridge that has a rare golden view.
In my L. A.
I can make my most fantastic dreams come true.
Our L. A.
Is the place for me and you.
