California Gurls -- Katy Perry

I know a place Where the grass is really greener  Warm, wet and wild 
There must be somethin' in the water  Sippin' gin and juice Layin' underneath the palm trees  
The boys  Break their necks Try'na creep a little sneak peek  
You could travel the world  But nothing comes close  To the Golden Coast 
Once you party with us  You'll be falling in love   

(**) California girls  We're unforgettable Daisy Dukes Bikinis on top Sun-kissed skin 
So hot  We'll melt your Popsicle  California girls  We're undeniable Fine, fresh, fierce 
We got it on lock  Westcoast represent  Now put your hands up 

Sex on the beach  We don't mind sand in our Stilettos We freak In my Jeep 
Snoop Doggy Dogg on the stereo  You could travel the world But nothing comes close 
To the Golden Coast  Once you party with us You'll be falling in love 

(**)

Toned, tanned  Fit and ready Turn it up 'cause it's gettin' heavy  Wild, wild Westcoast 

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 
The girl's a freak  She drives a Jeep and lives on the beach I'm okay 
I won't play  I love the Bay Just like I love L.A. Venice Beach 
And Palm Springs  Summertime is everything 

Homeboys Hangin' out All that ass Hangin' out  Bikinis, tankinis, martinis 
No weenies  Just a king And a queen-ie  Katy my lady You're lookin'here baby 
I'm all up on you  'Cause you representin' California
