Day after day,
More people come to L.A.
Hey! Don’t you tell anybody,
De whole place slippin’ away.
Where can we go
When there’s no San Francisco?
Better get ready to tie up
De boat in Idaho.
Do you know the swim?
You better learn quick, Jim!
Hey, if you don’t swim,
Better sing de hymn.
Where can we go
When there’s no San Diego?
Better get ready to tie up
De boat in O-hi-o.
—Shango, 1969
