Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well, East coast girls are hip

I really dig those styles they wear

And the Southern girls, with the way they talk

They knock me out when I'm down there

[Verse 2]

The Midwest farmer's daughters really make you feel alright

And the Northern girls, with the way they kiss

They keep their boyfriends warm at night

[Chorus]

I wish they all could be California

I wish they all could be California

I wish they all could be California girls

[Verse 3]

The West coast has the sunshine

And the girls all get so tanned

I dig a french bikini on Hawai'i island

Coast by a palm tree in the sand

[Verse 4]

I been all around this great big world

And I've seen all kinds of girls

Yeah, but I couldn't wait to get back in the States

Back to the cutest girls in the world

[Chorus]

I wish they all could be California

I wish they all could be California

I wish they all could be California girls

[Outro]

(Girls, girls, girls, yeah, I dig the) I wish they all could be California

(Girls, girls, girls, yeah, I dig the) I wish they all could be California

(Girls, girls, girls, yeah, I dig the) I wish they all could be California

(Girls, girls, girls, yeah, I dig the) I wish they all could be California
