(Cheech:)

Took A Walk To The Corner Store

Just To Buy A Loaf Of Bread And A Box Of S`mores

Up Pulled A Guy In A Yellow Van

Shiny Gold Badge Flashing In His Hand



(Chong:)

He Said, Alright All You Mohuddles Down Here

I Want You All To Hit The Floor

I Got One Thing To Ask You And Nothing More

So Answer In English, If You Can

Where Were Ya Born, Man



(Cheech:)

Huh? Where Was I Born?



(Chong:)

That`s Right, I Said

Where Were Ya Born?



(Cheech:)

Hey, Are You One Of Those Dudes Who Do Horoscopes, Man

Hey, I`m A Cancer With A Bad Moon Rising



(Chong:)

Look Here Alfago, Watch My Lips

Where Were Ya Born?



(Cheech:)

I Was BORN IN EAST L.A.

Man, I Was BORN IN EAST L.A.



(Chong:)

Oh Yeah, You Were BORN IN EAST L.A.

Let`s See Your Green Card



(Cheech:)

Huh? Green Card?

I`m From East LA



(Chong:)

Alright, Then Who`s President Of The United States



(Cheech:)

Oh, That`s Easy, Man

That Guy That Used To Be On Death Valley Days, John Wayne



(Chong:)

Alright, Let`s Go, Come On



(Cheech:)

Next Thing I Know, I`m In A Foreign Land

People Talkin So Fast, I Couldn`t Understand

There Was Nobody There To Lend A Helping Hand

I Was Cold, It Was Dark Where Is A Burger Stand



I Want To Go Back To East LA

I Wish I Was Back In East LA

I Don`t Belong Here In Downtown T.J.

Cause I Was Born In East LA, Ole



I Crawled Under Barbed Wire, Swam Across A Stream

Rode In Six Different Trucks Packed Like A Sardine

Walked All Day In The Burning Sun

Now I Know What It`s Like To Be Born To Run



Up Ahead Was The Promised Land

Shining Like A Star Just Beyond My Hand

All I Could See Was A Golden Door

I Looked Up, A Sign Said Five Billion Sold



And I Was Back In East LA

Yes, I Was Back In East LA

You Know I`m Never Gonna Stray

Cause I Was Born In East LA, Oh LA
