[B]
I'm in LA, you know where [E] that's at
And no one's getting [D] fat except Mama [B] Cash
Solly said Danny, you know there aren't many who can sing a song the way that you do
Let's go [E] south
Danny said Solly, Solly, don't you think that I [B] wish I could play guitar like you
[F#] So Danny and Sebastian sat at the [E] night eye
And after every number they'd pass
[B] But Finn and Maguire still are getting higher in LA, you know [E] where that's at
And no one's getting [D] fat
[B]
Well Cash was a sophomore, planned to go to Swarthmore
But she changed her mind one day
[E] Standing on the turnpike, dumb-ass [B] kid's right, take you to New York right away
[F#] When Danny met Cash, he gave her love
John [E] and Sol and Dad
[B] Finn and Maguire couldn't get no higher, but that's what they were [E] aiming at
And no one's getting [D] fat except [B] Mama Cash
Moms, moms, high jumps, low stumps, beach bumps, don't you work as hard as you play
[E] Shake up, break up, everything is shake [B] up, yes it had to be that way
[F#] Sebastian had his arm on the spoon, girl
[E] Danny, Danny, Perry, Duke, [B] Goldberg, Finn and Maguire just to catch the fire in LA, you know where [E] that's at
And everybody's getting [D] fat except Mama [B] Cash

Busted, disgusted, ages can't be trusted
And then she'd say
[E] Cash can't make it, she says we'll have to fake [B] it
We knew she'd come eventually
[F#]
We're [E] keeping our feet [B] strong.
Celebrations in our imaginations can't go on [E] indefinitely.
And California dreaming [D] is becoming our [B] reality.
