| Lyrics |
If I was just an evangelist from old Los Angeles,
There’s a street I’d wanna shout about,
It’s got ev’rything handy from candy to brandy,
Really knocks me out.
SE-PUL-VE-DA, SE-PUL-VE-DA
That’s a reet beat street, It’s so elite
Feelin’ that highway under my feet,
SE-PUL-VE-DA, SE-PUL-VE-DA
It’s a concrete dream, kumquats and cream,
Where the Sunday drivers meet,
There somebody’s waitin’,
Gotta go, gotta go, feelin’ no hesitatin’
There’s where I’m locatin’,
I’m happy, On the sunny side of
SE-PUL-VE-DA, SE-PUL-VE-DA
Gonna drive my jeep, beep beep!
On SE-PUL-VE-DA Boulevard!
Unless you plan to be scandalous in old Los Angeles,
There’s a street ya gotta shout about,
It’s got ev’rything classy, its chasis is grassy,
Really knocks me out.
