(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!!! |

| For those who haven't seen the movie, watch it! Though it dates to 1987, it's as timely as ever. The character played by Cheech Marin is an American who accidentally gets deported to Mexico during a round-up of illegal immigrants. But he doesn't even speak Spanish! |
