verse
Where the grass is really greener
There must be somethin' in the water
Layin' underneath the palm trees (undone)
The boys break their necks
Tryin' to creep a little sneak peek (at us)
chorus
California girls, we're unforgettable
Daisy Dukes, bikinis on top
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
California girls, we're undeniable
Fine, fresh, fierce, we got it one lock
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
pre-chorus
You could travel the world (you could travel the world)
But nothing comes close to the golden coast
Once you party with us (once you party with us)
You'll be fallin′ in love
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
chorus
California girls, we're unforgettable (California)
Daisy Dukes, bikinis on top
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
California girls (California), we′re undeniable
Fine, fresh, fierce, we got it one lock
West Coast represent (West Coast)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
verse
Toned, tanned, fit, and ready
Turn it up ′cause it's gettin′ heavy
These are the girls I love the most
I mean the ones, I mean like she's the one
Kiss her, touch her, squeeze her buns (uh)
verse
Bikinis, zuchinis, martinis, no weenies
Just a king and a queenie
Lookie here, baby (uh-huh)
′Cause you representin' California (oh-oh, yeah)
chorus
California girls, we′re unforgettable
Daisy Dukes, bikinis on top
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (come on, come on)
California girls, we′re undeniable
Fine, fresh, fierce, we got it one lock
West Coast represent (West Coast, West Coast)
Now put your hands up (ayy, ayy)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
