Hey there how are you, I haven't seen you in some time Boy you're looking good, and girl you're looking fine Around here that's what all the folks will say For Oakland this is just another sunny day You don't have the fare, you can just gimme what you got Sir do you need a jump, cuz my car's just down the block Around the parts people love to live the simple way For Oakland thisis just another sunny day You just take your time, you're on the East side of the Bay
We slow things down, we like to keep things that way Just sit right down, you may just find you'll want to stay You'll find we're never spiteful, we're rightfully delightful Don't get me wrong I love that San Francisco Mist But from over here (you must admit) the view's simply the best But from the churches to the bars, you can hear them say That for over in Oakland it is just another sunny day
