"City Of The Angels" lyrics

Here's the song by Fred Astaire

City of the angels, pretty city of the angels
That's the place I really want to be
Life's a taste of honey
Where the days are bright and sunny
And you dream of picking money off a tree

City of the angels, pretty city of the angels
How I hate to leave her for a while
'Specially when it's cloudy
She's got ways of saying howdy
Making everyone so proud they want to smile

L.A. doesn't begin to describe her name
She'll stay under your skin
Like a dame who became quite famous

If you've got a cravin', if you're looking for a haven
Then my best advice I'm saving for the end
Train or boat or jet there
Just as soon as you can get there
And I bet that you'll be met there by a friend

Splash in the sea and foam
Cash in Paree and Rome
Just a little change will make that city of the angels your home
Let me hear it one more time
Somewhere the hearts are fine
Come where the stars still shine
You'll be sitting pretty in that city of those angels of mine
