There is a city by the sea, a gentle com - pa - ny,

I don't suppose you want to
And as it tells its sorry tale, in harrowing detail
Its hollowness will haunt you
REm REmadd2 FA FAdd2 LAm LAsus2
Its streets and boulevards, orphans and oligarchs it hears
FA FAdd2 REm REmadd2
A plaintive melody, truncated symphony

An ocean's garbled vomit on the shore,

Los Angeles, I'm yours

Oh ladies pleasant and demure, sallow-cheeked and sure
I can see your undies
And all the boys you drag about, an empty fallow fount
From Saturdays to Mondays
You hill and valley crowd, hanging your trousers down at heel
This is the realest thing, as ancient choirs sing
A dozen blushing cherubs wheel above
Los Angeles my love

Oh what a rush of ripe élan, languor on divans, dalliant and dainty

It only makes me cranky

Oh great calamity, ditch of iniquity and tears

How I abhor this place, its sweet and bitter taste
