Her ancient Egyptian eyes look out on to the barrio

Oo-oo, sha-la-la-la

 You stack the magazines when you greet the others

Oo-oo, immigrant girl

Your grandmother gave you her Egyptian ring

Just to wear when you find a husband

And you see everything around this all American

Oo-oo, sha-la-la-la

The radio station plays rock ‘n roll for you

Oo-oo, immigrant girl

In my heart, I see a memory

Maybe it was sometime in some other life

And I see that you are longing to be free

You knew to be everybody else’s (?)

 You need to have everything you want in this American life

Oooooo-ooooo

sha-la-la-la

Won't you be my baby, my one and only baby

Oo-oo, immigrant girl

Life is long in America

We don't live in a magazine stand

You see the sun go down on this dark old L.A. town

Oo-oo sha-la-la-la

You (?) with every dream you perceive that

You will find. Immigrant girl

Immigrant girl.
