Intro: You always have a place to stay in Oakland The sun shines brightly every day in Oakland If you ask me I will tell you I'm not jokin' Because I always have a place to stay in Oakland There's a girl with eyes of deepest green in Oakland She's the prettiest thing I've ever seen in Oakland In the sweetest voice ever spoken She says, "You always have a place to stay in Oakland" They say unintelligible- insert current city here is the place to be But that ain't where my baby waits for me Solos: You always have a place to stay in Oakland It breaks my heart to drive away from Oakland If I leave this city's limits I'm hopin' That I always have a place to stay in Oakland That I always have a place to stay in Oakland
