It`s a silver mornin` People getting` up above the city Hot sun is-a comin` And the buck and doe will sleep above the city
California hilltop mornin` in the gold and the olive and the cinnamon brown California hilltop mornin` in the chaparral above the cinnamon town High on the hill above the cinnamon town
Oh, you gotta run with your dog and chase a covey of quail Or hear a motorcycle reachin` on the Beechwood Trail
Burnin` in the sun! City of the Angels!
Silver mornin` Smoke hangin` over the city Hot sun is-a pourin` Down through the clouds into the city
California hilltop mornin` in the gold and the olive and the cinnamon brown California hilltop mornin` in the chaparral above the cinnamon town High on a hill above the cinnamon town
Oh, oh, you gotta run with your dog and chase a covey of quail Or hear a motorcycle reachin` on the Beechwood Trail
Oh! City of the Angels!
Silver mornin` Smog hangin` over the city Hot sun is-a pourin` Down through the clouds into the city (Pourin` like a fire through the city) Down through the clouds into the city ... No...city!... (Got to feel it, got to breathe it, don`t you know it!) ...
