Theme for Oakland - The Phenomenauts, The Bay Area Cadet Chorus

Almost since the day it was founded, in 1848

The folks in San Francisco have been making jokes about Oakland

The jokes may live on, but Oakland is no longer

That faceless other city across the Bay

Humankind calls our home

Planet Earth, this we know

But the greatest place to be

On the planet of our birth

Is Oakland, California

The capital of Earth

And wherever we may roam

Far and wide, let it be known

That whenever we say home

It’s the place we think of first

Oakland, California

The capital of Earth
