[Interlude]

N.C.
Toned, tan, fit and ready, turn it up cause its gettin’ heavy
Wild wild west coast, these are the girls I love the most
I mean the ones, I mean like she’s the one, kiss her, touch her, squeeze her buns
The girls a freak, she drives a jeep the men on the beach,
I’m okay, I won’t play, I love the bay Just like I love LA
Venice Beach and Palm Springs summer time is everything
Come on boys, hanging out all that ass hanging out
Bikinis, tankinis, martinis, no weenies just to get in betweeny
Katy my lady (yeah) you looking here baby (uh huh)
I’m all up on you cause you representing California


[Chorus]
(same chords progression)

California girls man
I wish they all could be California girls
I wish they all could be California girls
There’s only a few children who do what we do
