Californ-i-a

Well Californ-i-a
Is how she says California
Cape Town
Is how I say Cape Town
She has a Hollywood twang
She picked it up from the movies
I know some neighbourhood slang
I picked it up in school
Oh it's so very cool and exotic
So very cool and yeah

She says her father's the man
A gun slinger if you've seen one
He has a lifetime ban
From five American states
He drives a big black sedan
He takes it to and from the workplace
An All-American man
With All-American taste
Oh it's so very cool and
So cool and
So cool and yeah

Ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba

Well like a darter out there
Sunning itself on a rock
She's got her arms outstretched
Like a pack-a-day smoker
Starting and trying to stop
I get taken in
Like a martyr out there
Dying for some kind of cause
She's got her arms outstretched
So wide, so wide

And Californ-i-a
Is how she says California
Nieu-Bethesda
Is how I say Nieu-Bethesda
She has a Hollywood twang
She picked it up from the movies
I know some neighbourhood slang
I know some neighbourhood slang
I know some neighbourhood slang
