If everybody in the U.S.A
Could come with us to Californ-i-a
We could take `em to a place out west
Where the good sun shines everyday
Now there`s a touch o` Californ-i-a
In everyone who`s ever been this way
And when your telephone begins to ring
And the operator comes on the line
California callin`
I`ll be there right away
There`s some beautiful women
Gonna find me one
To show me how to ride the ultimate wave
Now I`ve joined the surfin` nation and so
I`ll take a permanent vacation and go
To the golden shores of `Frisco Bay
I`ll ride `em all the way to Malibu
And I`ll take ya` boogie boardin` with me
`Cause when we`re surfin` it`s so great to be free
And when you`re on a California beach
You might even find `em windsurfin` too
California callin`
I`ll be there right away
There`s some beautiful women
Gonna find me one
To show me how to ride the ultimate wave
In the fifties it was Hey Daddy O
Then came the surfers and the Hodads ya` know
We had our woodies and our custom cars
And when we drove around we knew we were bad
My baby listens to my car radio
And when we`re cruisin` lets the whole world know
And when our favorite surfin` song comes on
We always let `em know it`s Totally Rad!
California callin`
I`ll be there right away
There`s some beautiful women
Gonna find me one
To show me how to ride the ultimate wave
California callin`
She`s still on the line
There`s a beautiful woman
Gonna show me how
To ride `em at the county line
California callin`
I`ll be there right away
There`s some beautiful women
Gonna find me one
To show me how to ride the ultimate wave
