California Man lyrics

Goin' to a party,

meet me on after school.

Well, goin' to a place 

where the jive is really cool.

And if the band stops playin',

there's a jukebox down the hall.

And with your blue dress on, 

your folks are all gone,

you're sure to 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 rocked my mama so bad.

This woman, she's a-makin' me mad.

Well, I don't care if her legs start achin'.

I'm a California man.

Well, my legs start to shiver 

when I hear you call my name.

Well, my knees keep a-knockin' 

and my bow tie's bustin' out.

When my feet start to fly 

and my jeans slung way down low,

you know I'm back on my heels 

and it's makin' me feel

like the 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.

Really rocked my mama so bad.

This woman, she's a-makin' me mad.

I don't care if your legs start achin'.

I'm a California man.

I'm a California man, yeah.

Goin' to a party, meet me on after school.

Well, goin' to a place 

where the jive is really cool.

And if the band stops playin',

there's a jukebox down the hall.

And with your blue dress on, 

your folks are all gone,

you're sure to 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.

I really rocked my mama so bad.

This woman, she's a-makin' me mad.

I don't care if your legs start achin'.

I'm a California man.

I'm a California man.  

I'm a California man.
