california man

going to a party

meet me out after school

well

we're going to a place where the jive is really cool

and if the band stops playing there's a jukebox in the hall

well

with your blue dress on and your folks all gone

you'll sure give the guys a ball

get that real guitar boy shakin'

i'm a california man

dance right on till the floors are breakin'

i'm a california man

well i cross my mamma so bad

and this woman

she's making me mad

so i don't care if your legs start aching

i'm a california man

oh my legs start to shiver when i hear you call my name

well

my knees keep a-knocking and i'm feeling tired bugs me down

and when we take off fine and my jeans are way down low

when i waggle my hips it's making me feel

like the king of rock 'n' roll

get that real guitar boy shakin'

i'm a california man

dance right on till the floors are breakin'

i'm a california man

well i cross my mamma so bad

and this woman

she's making me mad

so i don't care if your legs start aching

i'm a california man
