Lyrics

SUMMERTIME IN LA BY ROD HENDERSON

(1) YOU WANT TO BE IN LA IN THE SUMMERTIME
AS IT SPRAWLS FROM THE MOUNTAINS TO THE SEA
THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING TO SEE - A LAKER'S GAME , A MOVIE
HAS IT ALL - SITES, SOUND AND, CELEBRITIES
(2) YOU GOTTA' SEE LA, IT IS SO DIVINE
THOUGH THE TREES , ALL THE YEAR ROUND, ARE EVERGREEN
SUMMER BRINGS A SPECIAL AURA - THAT'S REFLECTED IN THE FLORA
OF GOOD TIMES AND CAVIAR DREAMS
(chorus)SEE LA IN THE SUMMERTIME

(2) ON A SUMMER'S EVE THE CITY REALLY COMES ALIVE
THE CHURCHES ROCK AND GOODS NEWS MUSIC THRIVES
EVERY THEATER, BEACH AND THEME PARK THRILLS FAMILIES AND SWEET HEARTS
THEY WORK HARD HERE BUT NOT JUST TO SURVIVE
(4) IT'S AN AWESOME SITE, FROM HILLS AT NIGHT- THE CITY'S LIGHTS
FEW OTHER CITIES ,HAVE AND BLESS SO MANY FOLKS
BUT THOUGH WE LACK TRANQUILITY, TO SEE SO MANY LIVING FREE
CAN'T HELP BUT STIR PEACEFULNESS WITHIN THE SOUL
(chorus) LA IN THE SUMMERTIME

(bridge) CRUISING WHITTIER,THE SUNSET STRIP, INGLEWOOD, NOW THAT'S A TRIP
YOU'RE IN DA' HOOD, AND FEELING SLICK, GROOVING' ALONG
GO VISIT MANNS, OR GRIFFITH PARK, OR DISNEYLAND AFTER DARK
THE BOWL IS GRAND - YOU'LL SEE SWEETHEARTS , PICKNIC ON THE LAWN
CHINA TOWN, PORTS OF CALL, WORLD RENOWN SHOPPING MALLS ,
HURRY DOWN - HAVE A BALL, SHOP TIL YOU DROP
DUCKS ON ICE, CHAVEZ RAVINE, LA'S QUITE THE MUSIC SCENE,
CLUBS ARE TIGHT, ON OPEN MIKE NIGHTS, YOU CAN SHOW WHAT YOU GOT
(chorus) LA IN THE SUMMERTIME

(5) YOU'LL LOVE LA , SOME PEOPLE STAY AND SOME IS FINE
IF YOU'RE LONELY IT'S THE PLACE TO BE
FRIENDLY PEOPLE , SO DIVERSE -FROM EVERY CORNER OF THE EARTH
BUT CHECK THE ATTITUDE, DON'T BRING ONE WITH YOU , PLEASE
(chorus) LA IN THE SUMMERTIME
