[Verse 1: The California Dreamers]
I read the news today—oh, boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well, I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph
[Verse 2: The California Dreamers]
He blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords
[Verse 3: The California Dreamers]
I saw a film today—oh boy
The English Army had just won the war
A crowd of people turned away
But I just had to look
Having read the book
[Refrain: The California Dreamers]
I'd love to turn you on
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge: The California Dreamers]
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah
Ba, ba-ba, ba-ba
[Verse 4: The California Dreamers]
I read the news today—oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
[Outro: The California Dreamers]
I'd love to turn you on
