Lyrics
Goin' to a party
Meet me out after school
Well, we're goin' to a place
Where the jive is really cool
And if the band stops playin'
There's a jukebox in the hall
Well, with your blue dress on
And your folks all gone
You'll sure give the guys a ball
Get that real guitar boy shakin'
I'm a California man
Dance right on till the floors are breakin'
I'm a California man
Well I cross my mamma so bad
And this woman she's making me mad
So I don't care if your legs start aching
I'm a California man
Oh my legs start to shiver
When I hear you call my name
Well, my knees keep a knocking
And I'm feeling tired bugs me down
And when we take off fine
And my jeans are way down low
When I waggle my hips
It's making me feel like a king of rock n' roll
Get that real guitar boy shakin'
I'm a California man
Dance right on till the floors are breakin'
I'm a California man
Well I cross my mamma so bad
And this woman she's making me mad
So I don't care if your legs start aching
I'm a California man
I'm a California man
(Take it Jeffrey!)
Goin' to a party
Meet me on after school
Well, we're goin' to a place
Where the jive is really cool
And if the band stops playin'
There's a jukebox in the hall
With your blue dress on
And your folks all gone
Well you're sure give the guys a ball
Get that real guitar boy shakin'
I'm a California man
Dance right on till the floors are breakin'
I'm a California man
Well I cross my mamma so bad
And this woman's just making me mad
So I don't care if your legs start aching
I'm a California man
I'm a California man
(Rock now)
