I Am Going To Like It Here
Fascinated by her new surroundings and smitten by Ta, Mei Li eagerly embraces her new life in San Francisco.
I am going to like it here.
There is something about the place,
An encouraging atmosphere,
Like a smile on a friendly face.
There is something about the place,
So caressing and warm it is –
Like a smile on a friendly face,
Like a port in a storm it is!
So caressing and warm it is,
All the people are so sincere –
Like a port in a storm it is,
I am going to like it here!
All the people are so sincere,
There’s especially one I like.
I am going to like it here.
It’s the father’s first son I like!
There’s especially one I like,
There is something about his face.
It’s the father’s first son I like—
He’s the reason I love the place.
There is something about his face,
I would follow him anywhere.
If he goes to another place,
I am going to like it there!
