Verse 1:
SI SI9
Well, East Coast girls are hip, I really dig those styles they wear
And the Southern girls with the way they talk
FA#They knock me out when I'm down there
SI SI9The midwest farmers' daughters really make you feel alright
And the Northern girls with the way they kiss
FA#They keep their boyfriends warm at night
Chorus
SI DO#m7
I wish they all could be California,
I wish they all could be California,
SOL LAm7 SII wish they all could be California Girls
Verse 2:
The West coast has the sunshine, and the girls all get so tanned
I dig a French bikini on Hawaiian Island dolls
By a palm tree in the sand
I been all around this great big world and I've seen
all kinds of girls
But I couldn't wait to get back in the states,
Back to the cutest girls in the world
[repeat chorus]
