[REBECCA]

West Covina, California!

In my soul, I feel a fire

'Cause I am heading for the pride of the inland empire!

My life's about to change—oh my gosh!

'Cause I'm hopelessly, desperately in love with...

West Covina!

[Musical interlude]

See the sparkle off the concrete ground

Hear the whoosh of the bustling town

What a feeling of love in my gut

I'm falling faster than the middle school's music program was cut

People dine at Chez Applebee

[ADVERTISEMENT BACK-UP SINGER]

Aaaahhhh!

[REBECCA]

And the sky seems to smile at me!

[ADVERTISEMENT BACK-UP SINGER 2]

Aaaahhhh!

[REBECCA]

It's all new, but I have no fear...

[ADVERTISEMENT BACK-UP SINGER 3]

¡Accidentes!

[REBECCA]

And also by coincidence, Josh...

Just happens to be here

What a cool-looking anime wig

And I've never seen a pretzel this big

It's my destiny that much is clear

And also this guy Josh just happens to be here

(spoken)

Is he here? He's not here.

(sung)

To be clear, I didn't move here for Josh, I just needed a change

'Cause to move here for Josh, now that'd be strange

But don't get me wrong, if he asked for a date

I would totally be like, "That sounds great!"

Did it sound cool when I said: "that sounds great"?

Ok, how about now: "that sounds great"

Yes, I heard of West Covina from Josh

But I didn't move here because of Josh

Do you get those things are different?

[DELIVERY GUY]

No hablo inglés.

[REBECCA]

¿Entiendes que son diferentes?

Look everyone

Stop giving me the shakedown

I am not having a nervous—

West Covina, California

West Covina, California

Hear the band playing in my heart

My new life is about to start

True happiness is so near

(spoken)

Aw, you guys are good. Bye, bye.

[EXECUTIVES, spoken]

Sorry kids, budget cuts.

No tuba anymore.

Give that back.

Nice dress.

[REBECCA AND ENSEMBLE]

And also by coincidence, so random, just by chance

Who'da thunk it, so remarkable, and weird, right?

It's so great!

That this guy, Josh

Just happens to be...

Here!

[REBECCA, spoken]

Only two hours from the beach!
