Verse 1:
Well, BEast Coast girls are hip, I really B9dig those styles they wear
And the SEouthern girls with the way they talk
They knock me F#out when I'm down there
The mBidwest farmers' daughters really mB9ake you feel alright
And the NEorthern girls with the way they kiss
They keep their F#boyfriends warm at night
Chorus:
I Bwish they all couldC#m7 be California,
I Awish they all could Bm7be California,
I Gwish they all could Am7be California BGirls
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]
