Lyrics: California Girls
Well, East Coast girls are hip
I really dig those styles they wear
And the Southern girls with the way they talk
They knock me out when I’m down there
The Midwest farmer’s daughters
Really make you feel alright
And the Northern girls with the way they kiss
They keep their boyfriends warm at nightI wish they all could be California girls
(I wish they all could be California)
I wish they all could be California girlsThe West Coast has the sunshine
And the girls all get so tanned
I dig a French bikini on Hawaii island Dolls
By a palm tree in the sand
I’ve been all around this great big world
And I seen all kind of girls
Yeah, but I couldn’t wait to get back in the states
Back to the cutest girls in the worldI wish they all could be California girls
(I wish they all could be California)
I wish they all could be California girlsI wish they all could be California (Girls, girls, girls yeah, I dig the—)
I wish they all could be California (Girls, girls, girls yeah, I dig the—)
I wish they all could be California (Girls, girls, girls yeah, I dig the—)
I wish they all could be California (Girls, girls, girls yeah, I dig the—)
