California Man

Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1: Jeff Lynne] Going to a party Meet me out after school Well, we're going to a place Where the jive is really cool And if the band stops playing There's a jukebox in the hall Well, with your blue dress on And your folks all gone You'll sure give the guys a ball [Chorus: Jeff Lynne, Roy Wood] Get that real guitar boy shakin' I'm a California man Dance right on 'til the floors are breakin' I'm a California man Well, I crossed my mama so bad And this woman, she's a-making me mad So I don't care if your legs start achin' I'm a California man [Verse 2: Roy Wood] Oh, my legs start to shiver When I hear you call my name Well, my knees keep a-knocking And my pink tie bugs me, man When we take off fine And my jeans hung way down low When I'm back on my heels It's making me feel Like the king of rock 'n' roll [Chorus: Jeff Lynne, Roy Wood] Get that real guitar boy shakin' I'm a California man Dance right on 'til the floors are breakin' I'm a California man Well, I crossed my mama so bad And this woman, she's a-making me mad So I don't care if your legs start achin' I'm a California man, I'm a California man Take it, Jeffrey! [Piano Solo] [Verse 3: Roy Wood] Going to a party Meet me out after school 'Bout to go to a place Where the jive is really cool And if the band stops playing There's a jukebox in the hall A-with your blue dress on And your folks all gone Well, you're sure to give the guys a ball [Chorus: Jeff Lynne, Roy Wood] Get that real guitar boy shakin' I'm a California man Dance right on 'til the floors are breakin' I'm a California man Well, I crossed my mama so bad And this woman's just a-making me mad So I don't care if your legs start achin' I'm a California man, I'm a California man Rock on! [Saxophone Solo] [Instrumental Outro]
