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 Mid-West farmer's daughters really make you feel alright

And the Northern girls with the way they kiss

They keep their boyfriends warm at night

I wish they all could be California

I wish they all could be California

I wish they all could be California girls

The 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 been all around this great big world

And I seen all kinds of girls

Yeah, but I couldn't wait to get back in the states

Back to the cutest girls in the world

I wish they all could be California

I wish they all could be California

I wish they all could be California girls

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)

I wish they all could be California

(Girls, girls, girls yeah I dig the)
