Gene Clark Immigrant Girl Lyrics

Immigrant Girl Lyrics

Her ancient Egyptian eyes 
Look out on to the barrio 
Oo-oo sha-la-la-la 
 
You stack the magazines 
While you greet the others 
Oo-oo immigrant girl 
 
Your grandmother gave you her Egyptian ring 
Just to wear when you find a husband 
 
And you see everything 
Around this all American 
Oo-oo sha-la-la-la 
 
The radio stations 
Play rock ën roll for you 
Oo-oo immigrant girl 
 
In my heart, I see a memory 
Maybe it was some other time, some other place 
And you`re still longing to be free 
You can become anything you want in free America... 
And you want a piece of this American life 
 
O0-oo sha-la-la-la 
Won`t you be my baby 
Oh won`t you be my lady 
 
Life is long in America 
We don`t live in a magazine stand 
 
You see the sun go down 
On this dark old L.A. town 
 
Oo-oo sha-la-la-la 
 
Everything you touch all you see with every new face 
You will find.Immigrant girl 
 
Immigrant girl.
