intro – slow at first
verse 1
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 farmers' daughters really make you feel alright,
And the northern girls with the way they kiss
They keep their boyfriends warm at night.
chorus
I wish they all could be California gi - i - i - i - irls,
I wish they all could be California,
I 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've been all around this great big world
And I've seen all kind of girls,
Yeah, but I couldn't wait to get back in the States,
Back to the cutest girls in the world.
chorus
I wish they all could be California gi - i - i - i - irls,
I wish they all could be California,
I wish they all could be California girls.
glockenspiel break
outro - (4 times through then end on "girls")
I wish they all could be California gi - i - i - i - i - irls,
Girls, girls, girls, yeah, I dig the girls, girls, girls
I wish they all could be California...
Girls.
