The California Uptight Band

I made a trip to California just last week
To get those cats to lay sounds on me
There in the corner of a parking lot
Was six kids playin' dirty rock

It was the California Uptight Band
A way out hippy was the guitar man
I asked him to pick a little Wildwood Flower
He looked at me kinda sour

He said what's wild about a wood flower man
I told him maybe you don't understand
I hummed him a little 'till he found the beat
He nearly picked me off my feet

I stayed and I taught him a tune or two
A little Earl's Breakdown
And some Mountain Dew
And now this group has got a brand new style they're driving California wild

Now it's a brand new California Uptight Band
Now they're the leaders of the west coast plan
A little education from the country sound
They're takin' California for a ride
I wouldn't put you on cause it ain't no gag
The Uptight Band has got a brand new bag
If you see the California Uptight Band
Tell them you're a wood flower man

Now it's a brand new California Uptight Band
Playing a song about a wood flower man

Now it's a brand new California Uptight Band
Playing a song about a wood flower man
A brand new California Uptight Band...
