| Beach babes, in bikinis
|
| And the body builders standing guard
|
| Ferrari’s and Lamborghini’s
|
| Rev their engines down the boulevard
|
| It’s just a, it’s just a pipe dream, I know I’ll never have it no I’ll never
|
| meet a movie star
|
| And where I come from, it’s usually raining and we’re used to drinking in the
|
| park
|
| I’ve never been, I’ve never been to Californ-i-a
|
| (Been to Californ-i-a)
|
| And no one in Beverly Hills is gonna know my name
|
| (Never partied in L.A.)
|
| The orange men from th Orange County
|
| Play their golf in the midday sun
|
| Silicon womn from Silicon Valley
|
| Wear valour as they shoot their guns
|
| It’s just a, it’s just a pipe dream, I know I’ll never have it no I’ll never
|
| meet a movie star
|
| And where I come from it’s usually raining and we’re used to drinking in the
|
| park
|
| I’ve never been, I’ve never been to Californ-i-a
|
| (Been to Californ-i-a)
|
| And no one in Beverly Hills is gonna know my name
|
| (Never partied in L.A.)
|
| And I wanna be a little more James Dean, a little less James Bond when I cross
|
| the pond
|
| And I wanna see baseball on TV, a shopping mall, I wanna see it all
|
| I wanna see it all
|
| I wanna be
|
| I wanna be in Californ-i-a
|
| (Live in Californ-i-a)
|
| Everyone in Beverley Hills is gonna know my name
|
| (Everybody in L.A.)
|
| It’s just a pipe dream I know I’ll never have it, I’ll never be a movie star
|
| I’ll never be
|
| I’ll never be
|
| I’ll never be
|
| I’ll never be in Californ-i-a
|
| Live in Californ-i-a |
