Welcome to My LA
There was a girl
Hello, everybody!
She was a bubbly black girl
My name is Viveca Stanton
A bubbly, bubbly black girl
But you can call me Bubbly
From California
Have a nice day!
A calm breeze across the palm trees
Is like a balm easing my soul
The whole City of Angels feels like heaven
My lucky seven on a roll
The sun is hot
It's shinning through the valley
I'm walking home through the alley
The after school way
I'm dancing down the street
I'm bouncing on my feet
The cool way
Little Viveca Stanton
Her friends call her Bubbly
She's got a twinkle in her eye
A bounce in her step
And a "have a nice day" smile
She's very, very bright
Has both parents at the home
And not a welfare check in sight
She's one of the good ones!
The grass is high
It's cracking through the sidewalk
Black boys are doing the stride walk
Trying to impress me
Hey, Bubbly
What you say?
I wave and smile as they address me
Past the fast food place
The fast cars race down the freeway
Down the freeway
T-bird Mustang, Cadillac and Stingray Chevrolet
All zooming through L.A
Some out of towners
Can be put downers
"L.A's a wasteland
A have no taste-land"
The real L.A, they know nothing of it
But, hey, I love it
It makes me stride!
It makes me have pride!
It gives me L.A cool!
I get it after school
Fairfax
Pico
Crenshaw
Slauson
Washington
Jefferson
All around my stomping ground
Let your foot slide
Down to the sea side
Don't need no swimming pool
To keep your L.A cool
Catch a movie at the Baldwin
Get a little Hollywood in the neighborhood
And we've got Malibu
The Tar Pits too
Playa del Rey here in L.A
Have a nice day
Have a nice day
Have a nice day
Welcome to my L.A
