[A] Goin' to a party, maybe on after school.
Well, [B] goin' to a place where the guy [E] that's really cool.
And if the band stops playin'
in the jukebox down [A] the hall.
And [B] with your bluegrass on,
and your folks up all dawn.
Sure to give the [D] guys a [E] five.
[A] Cat's ass, real good top-law chicken.
[D] I'm a [E] California lady.

[B] Well, I rock my mama's school bag.
[F#] Some boring sheets are makin' me mad.
[B] I don't care if my legs are [F#] achin'.
I'm a [E] California man.
[Bm] [E] When my legs start to shiver,
when I hear you [A] call my name.
Well, my [B] knees keep a-knockin'
and my toes [E] start a-thuddin' out.
When my feet start to fly
and my feet start to wiggle.
[A] You [B] know I'm back on my heels
and it's makin' me feel like a genie.
I [D] can [E] fly.
[A] Cat's ass, real good top-law chicken.
[D] I'm a [E] California lady.
