| "Poor Man's Shangri-La" | |
| Tell you 'bout a friend of mine that you don't know. | |
| He lives way up a road that's lost in time. | |
| Don't know his name, or where he's coming from. | |
| Only thing you know, he's a real gone cat, | |
| This friend of mine. | |
| He don't have no uptown friends, or drive a Cadillac, | |
| But he's got cool threads and a beat-up car. | |
| All his downtown friends like me ride around in the back | |
| 'Cause he's a real cool cat, yeah he's a real gone cat, | |
| This friend of mine. | |
| La Loma boys will run with you, | |
| Do anything that you want them to, | |
| If you need a friend 'cause you're feeling blue. | |
| Palo Verde girls never let you down. | |
| Na na na na na, living in a poor man's Shangri-La. | |
| Firme guys in their firme cars, | |
| Underneath the moon and stars. | |
| The city lights way down below. | |
| What's that sound? What's that light | |
| Streaking down through the night? | |
| What's it mean? It's a red cloud over | |
| Chavez Ravine. | |
| Orale, U.F.O. come gliding low. | |
| Se cayo on Chavez Road. | |
| Space Vato, square cat | |
| Say, "Caramba, partners, where's the party at?" | |
| I heard about the cool jerk, and the alligator, | |
| Tokay wine, Mary Jane, and Lil' Julian Herrera. | |
| I want to learn to dance, make romance. | |
| These La Bishop girls might take a chance. | |
| My friends say, "No, be cool, bro. | |
| If you want to dance slow, | |
| Learn to ask a mi hermana con respeto." | |
| U.F.O. got a radio. | |
| Lil' Julian singing soft and low. | |
| Los Angeles down below. | |
| DJ says, we got to go, | |
| To El Monte, El Monte, El Monte, pa El Monte. | |
| Na na na na na, living in a poor man's Shangri-La. |
