Verse 1
Well, East Coast girls are hip, I really dig those styles they wear
And the S outhern girls with the way they talk
They knock me out when I'm down there
The midwest farmers' daughters really m ake you feel alright
And the N orthern girls with the way they kiss
They keep their boyfriends warm at night
Chorus
I wish they all could be California,
I wish they all could be California,
I wish they all could be California Girls
Verse 2
The West coast has the sunshine, and the girls all get so tanned
I dig a French bikini on Hawaiian Island dolls
By a palm tree in the sand
I been all around this great big world and I've seen
all kinds of girls
But I couldn't wait to get back in the states,
Back to the cutest girls in the world
[repeat chorus]

Coda [repeat to fade]:
