Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hate New York City
It's cold and it's damp
And all the people dressed like monkeys
Let's leave Chicago to the Eskimos
That town's a little bit too rugged
For you and me, you bad girl
[Verse 2]
Rollin' down the Imperial Highway
A big nasty redhead at my side
Santa Ana winds blowin' hot from the north
And we were born to ride
[Verse 3]
Roll down the window
Put down the top
Crank up the Beach Boys, baby
Don't let the music stop
We're gonna ride it till we
Just can't ride it no more
[PreChorus]
From the South Bay to the Valley
From the West Side to the East Side
Everybody very happy
'Cause the sun is shinin' all the time
Looks like another perfect day
[Chorus]
I love L.A.
We love it
I love L.A.
We love it
We love it
[Verse 4]
Look at that mountain
Look at those trees
Look at that bum over there, man, he's down on his knees
Look at these women
Ain't nothin' like 'em nowhere
[Verse 5]
Century Boulevard
We love it
Victory Boulevard
We love it
Santa Monica Boulevard
We love it
Sixth Street
We love it, we love it
We love L.A.
[Chorus]
I love L.A.
We love it
I love L.A.
We love it
I love L.A.
We love it
