IN LONG BEACH
It's fun to be a tourist
And with the tourists stand,
A happy smile upon your face,
A guide-book in your hand;
A yellow poppy on your breast,
Orange blossoms in your hair,
Ramona handy in your grip,
Time-tables everywhere.
It's fun to be a tourist
To climb these mountain walls,
To visit countless canyons
With streams and waterfalls;
To see them all, then gaily
Down to the beach to trip,
And in the old Pacific
Take your initial dip.
Copyright June, 1913, by H.C Hurst
It's fun to be a tourist,
Your first orange grove to see,
To eat your first ripe olive
Fresh picked from off the tree;
To gaze upon the date-palms,
And eucalyptus trees,
And at the graceful peppers
Slow swaying in the breeze.
It's fun to be a tourist,
An ostrich farm to view,
To see the ancient missions
And modern oil well, too
To buy a bunch of post cards,
A thousand at the least,
To send to friends of old lang syne,
Who still are in the East.
