(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 mojados 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 el fago, 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 

(adlibs with I'm a low rider rocker in East LA, oh LA) 

EAST LA!!!
