We came from Great Britain to L.A. Where the groups from England play Swing Auditorium, Hollywood Palladium, Civic Hall She said she had a house up in the hills Lived on orange juice and pills California, sweet California, bless you all! California tastes so good like coffee should I can't put it down, but that's not all If only they had soccer here, Watney's Beer And the BBC, and the Albert Hall I think, I might think of settling down In this easygoing town With a good woman, with a good woman just like you I just wanna lay my head beside you On the water bed, won't you lay me down Help me to forget about tomorrow And the early plane to another town I came from Great Britain to L.A. Must go back the other way California, so long, California, I'll be back! Yes, I'll be back!
