From Great Britain To L.A. - Albert Hammond

It Never Rains in Southern California

From Great Britain To LA

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!
