Land Of La La

You were brought up in a small town
Where everyone greeted with a morning smile
I mean the place was so free from crime
You could leave your front door openAnd if your eyes were drawn from a lack of food
Or your pockets were short on cash
There was always someone close at hand
That you could always run toYou could have been a doctor and you could have been a nurse
But these things weren't good enough for you
So you decided to pack up all you own and get a one way ticket there
To a place where all the successful people went in order for them to doI'm a big boy now and she's a strong girl
