Los Angeles Blues

Los Angeles Blues

(album: Blues Cross Country - 1962)

If you have sunshine and beaches
How can that be so hard
And maybe oranges and grapefruit
Growing in your own backyard

If you have mountains and the ocean
And a great, big smiling sky
There's very little that is blue here
So the blues pass Los Angeles by

Everybody has a barbecue
Everybody's going swimming, too
With that kind of living, how can you be blue?
So the blues pass Los Angeles by

Oh, you can go to a mountain and ski down the side
Go to a beach and take a surfboard ride
The City of Angels has a lot of pride
But the blues have passed it by

And oh, the folks are nice in this tropical clime
Although they talk about the weather lots of the time
They call it unusual if the rain comes down
They don't believe in blues in this old town

You can go to the desert in an hour or two
Where the sun and the sand are so good for you
Where living's that easy, how can you be blue
Yes, the blues have passed it by

Oh, you can live in the valley where the grass is green
Or you can live on a hill with a view to be seen
The people do say that on a real clear day
You can see Catalina, though it's pretty far away

Oh, you can watch the Rams or Angels or the Dodgers play
On a sunny California, smog-free day
If the boys are winning, it's easier to say
That the blues pass Los Angeles by

Yeah, pass right on by
Took a look at the sky
And they passed it by
