…on the west
In the movies and the music
Soon a dream began to grow
It wasn't long before I had to go
Californ-ya Californ'-ya called my name
And bade me come…
…to you
Californ-ya Californ'
Your golden coast and Pacific Blue
Yeah for awhile you made my dreams come true
How I miss you…
…a friend
And the moonlight on the ocean
Down in Venice by the sea
How often now in dreams you come to me
Californ-ya Californ'
Your golden coast and Pacific Blue
Yeah…

From Boston Town we sailed away
Heave aweigh Santiano
Round Cape Horn down to Frisco Bay
And we're bound for Californ-i-o
So…
…heave her up and away we'll go
Heave aweigh Santiano
Heave her up and away we'll go
And we're bound for Californ-i-o…
These Liverpool girls they make a show
Heave aweigh Santiano
They shake their hips with the roamin' beau
And they're bound for Californ-i-o
So…

Sit back take a trip down memory…

Everyday represent Californ-I-A

We was young then
Back when we couldn't get…

Sit back take a trip down memory lane
Everyday represent Californ-I-A

Californ-I-A, where the ballers ball and the players play
You're…
…and hit it
So don't fuck up the rotation
Just pass it to the nation, taxation upon representation
In Californ-I-A
Where the ballers ball…
…and the players play
Californ-I-A
We get high and we drink all day
In Californ-I-A
Shit, I couldn't have it no other way
Californ-I…
