They Go to San Diego by Mel Tormé

They Go to San Diego Lyrics

[00:29.66] When a couple of Russian dignitaries are on vacation from their land
[00:35.30] If they want to live in the style they're used to, which they claim is very grand
[00:40.58] Do they go to Marseilles, or the Rue De L'Ave, or some far-away archipelago?
[00:45.99] Nah, they go to San Diego
[00:51.04] Dan-dan-dandy San Diego
[00:55.70] Where the sweet perfume of the Waterfront fills the air
[01:00.46]
[01:09.01] When those widows you read of, with lots of dough, realise it's getting late
[01:14.90] If they want to splurge on a final fling with some young and handsome mate
[01:19.81] Do they motor to France, or do they find romance with a square from Tierra Del Fuego?
[01:25.52] Nah, they go to San Diego
[01:31.00] Han-han-handy San Diego
[01:35.63] There are four marines to each widowed gal in the land
[01:40.03]
[03:13.75] When a gal and guy from Oswego, NY, are in love and losing hope
[03:19.30] She's got a strict papa, he's got a stern mama, so they've decided to elope
[03:24.72] Do they see Minnesota, or hit North Dakota? Why, certainly not, here's where they go
[03:30.02] Decidedly, delightedly
[03:35.35] They go, they go, they go, they go to San Diego (San Diego, San Diego)
[03:42.82] (They go down to San Diego)
[03:51.66]
