California Calling

[Verse 1: Mike Love & Al Jardine]

If everybody in the U.S.A

Could come with us to Californ-i-a

We could take them to a place out west

Where the good sun shines everyday

Now there's a touch of Californ-i-a

In everyone who's ever been this way

And when your telephone begins to ring

And the operator comes on the line

[Chorus: Al Jardine & Mike Love]

California's calling (California's calling a-ring-ding-ding)

I'll be there right away (Calling a-ring-ding-ding)

There's some beautiful women

Going to find me one

To show me how to ride the ultimate wave

[Verse 2: Mike Love & Al Jardine]

Now I've joined the surfing nation and so

I'll take a permanent vacation and go

To the golden shores of 'Frisco Bay

I'll ride them all the way to Malibu

And I'll take you boogie boarding with me

Because when we're surfing it's so great to be free

And when you're on a California beach

You might even find them windsurfing too

[Chorus: Al Jardine, Mike Love & Brian Wilson]

California's calling (California's calling a-ring-ding-ding)

(California calling)

I'll be there right away (Calling a-ring-ding-ding)

(California calling)

There's some beautiful women

Going to find me one

To show me how to ride the ultimate wave

[Verse 3: Mike Love & Al Jardine]

In the fifties it was "Hey Daddy O"

Then came the surfers and the Hodads you know

We had our woodies and our custom cars

And when we drove around we knew we were bad

My baby listens to my car radio

And when we're cruising lets the whole world know

And when our favorite surfing song comes on

We always let them know it's "Totally Rad!"

[Chorus: Al Jardine, Mike Love & Brian Wilson]

California's calling (California's calling a-ring-ding-ding)

(California calling)

I'll be there right away (Calling a-ring-ding-ding)

(California calling)

There's some beautiful women

Going to find me one

To show me how to ride the ultimate wave

[Chorus: Al Jardine, Mike Love & Brian Wilson]

California calling (California's calling a-ring-ding-ding)

(California calling)

She's still on the line (Calling a-ring-ding-ding)

(California calling)

There's a beautiful woman

Going to show me how

To ride them at the county line

[Outro: Al Jardine, Mike Love, and Brian Wilson]

California's calling (California's calling a-ring-ding-ding)

(California calling)

I'll be there right away (Calling a-ring-ding-ding)

(California calling)

There's some beatiful women

Going to find me one

To how me how to ride the ultimate wave
