Campo de Encino
F
I wanna live on the valley side
Where the girls are skinny and the sky is wide
C7
Where I can take my horsey for a ride in Campo de Encino
Gm7 C7
Listening to the local rock and roll band
Gm7 C7
Resting my feet in the cool green screenland
Gm7 C7 F
Me and Ralph Williams gonna make our stand in Campo de Encino
F Am Bb
Ay, yi yi, I wanna drive a sporty car
And be a pinball star and have a waterfall bar
F F7
That revolves around my swimming pool
Bb
I wanna take touch therapy
I wanna wipe out VD and set the animals free
F Ebmaj7 Bb F
And most of all I wanna soar, I wanna soar away
C7
Why don't we have a barbecue and I'll make love to you
F
If you dad will let you stay and play
I wanna live San Fernando style
I wanna eat an artichoke once in a while
I'm gonna watch police helicopters checking my file over Campo de Encino
A chamber group playing without any clothes
Good for the oboes but hard on the cellos
Your ears might get tired but your nose always Campo de Encino
Ay, yi, yi, I wanna take a vegetarian diet
I've gotta learn to be quiet that is, I think that I'll try it
I've heard it cures all
I really wanna learn about the primal scream
And the meaning of my dream and get back on that beam
But most of all I wanna soar away
Why don't we listen to the Stones and explore some unknowns
If your mom will let you skip ballet
F
I wanna live on the valley side
Where the girls are skinny and the sky is wide
C7
Where I can take my horsey for a ride in Campo de Encino
