If everybody in the u.s.a
Could come with us to californ-i-a
We could take em to a place out west
Where the good sun shines everyday

Now theres a touch o californ-i-a
In everyone whos ever been this way
And when your telephone begins to ring
And the operator comes on the line

California callin
Ill be there right away
Theres some beautiful women
Gonna find me one
To show me how to ride the ultimate wave

Now Ive joined the surfin nation and so
Ill take a permanent vacation and go
To the golden shores of frisco bay
Ill ride em all the way to malibu

And Ill take ya boogie boardin with me
cause when were surfin its so great to be free
And when youre on a california beach
You might even find em windsurfin too

California callin
Ill be there right away
Theres some beautiful women
Gonna find me one
To show me how to ride the ultimate wave

In the fifties it was hey daddy o
Then came the surfers and the hodads ya know
We had our woodies and our custom cars
And when we drove around we knew we were bad

My baby listens to my car radio
And when were cruisin lets the whole world know
And when our favorite surfin song comes on
We always let em know its totally rad!

California callin
Ill be there right away
Theres some beautiful women
Gonna find me one
To show me how to ride the ultimate wave

California callin
Shes still on the line
Theres a beautiful woman
Gonna show me how
To ride em at the county line

California callin
Ill be there right away
Theres some beautiful women
Gonna find me one
To show me how to ride the ultimate wave
