Under the stars, San Diego glows,
A city where the ocean flows.

In every corner, old and new,
San Diego's heart is pure and true.

Zoo Zoo Zany:

San Diego's zoo, animals wild,
I watched them all, like a child.
But then a monkey stole my hat,
And ran away, imagine that!
The visitors laughed and shared a cheer,
In San Diego, joy's always near.
From panda's charm to lion's roar,
San Diego's laughter's at the core.

Beach Bliss:

San Diego's beach, sand so fine,
I tried to surf, felt divine.
But then I wiped out, what a show,
The surfers laughed, "Way to go!"
From waves so high to sun's delight,
San Diego's charm is pure and bright.
