Day After Day (It's Slippin' Away) - Shango
        The Earthquake Song
 
[Verse 1]
 C         G          D              G
Day after day,  more people come to LA,
 C               G                 D                    G
Shhh, don't you tell anybody the whole place slippin' away.
 C            G          D                    G
Where can we go,  when there's no San Francisco,
 C                 G                  D           G
Shhh, better get ready to tie up the boat in Idaho.
 
[Chorus 1]
 C               G                  D               G
Do you know the swim,  you better learn quick Jim,
  C              G                D               G
Those who don't know the swim,  better sing the hymn,
 C            G             D            G
Tuna at the bowl,  find fillet of much sole,
 C             G                   D              G
Hoo hooo what can you do, with a bushel of wet gold.
 
[Verse 2]
 C         G          D              G
Day after day,  more people come to LA,
 C               G                 D                   G
Shhh, don't you tell anybody the whole place shakin' away.
 C            G          D                    G
Where can we go,  when there's no San Francisco,
 C                 G                  D           G
Shhh, better get ready to tie up the boat in Idaho.

  C           G          D                G
Where can we go,  when there's no San Diego,
 C                 G                  D           G
Shhh, better get ready to tie up the boat in Idaho.
 
[Chorus 2]
 C               G                  D               G

I disagree with the edit by nativeprideruthb, it sure sounds like 'wet clothes' to me instead of wet gold, and makes more sense because we are talking about swimming here.

Played to a very nice Calypso beat (precursor to Reggae) Not bad from 1969.
