Lyrics

California Girls

Well, East Coast girls are hip

I really dig those styles they wear

And the Southern girls a with the way they talk

They knock me out way low down there

The men with Farmer's daughters really

Make you feel alright

Then the Northern girls a 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 tan

I dig the Frеnch bikini and Friday out with the girls

By a palm tree in the sand whoo

I've been all around this spring

And I'vе seen all kinds of girls

Yeah, but I can't wait to get back in the shades

That's where 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

Yeah, I dig the girls, girls, girls, girls

Yeah, I dig the girls, girls, girls

Yeah, I dig the girls, girls, girls

Yeah, I dig the girls, girls, girls
