Skeeter Davis — California Uptight Band

I made a trip to California just last week To get those cats to lay sounds on me There on the corner of a parking lot Was six kids playin' dirty rock It was the California Uptight Band A way out hippy was the guitar man I asked him to pick a little Wildwood Flower He looked at me kinda sour He said what's wild about a wood flower man I told him maybe you don't understand I hummed him a little till he found the beat He nearly picked me off my feet I stayed and I taught him a tone or two A little Earl's Breakdown And some Mountain Dew And now this group has got a brand new style they're driving California wild Now it's a brand new California Uptight Band Now they're the leaders of the west coast plan A little education from the country sound They're takin' California for a ride I wouldn't put you on cause it ain't no gag The Uptight Band has got a brand new bag If you see the California Uptight Band Tell them you're a wood flower man Now it's a brand new California Uptight Band Playing a song about a wood flower man Now it's a brand new California Uptight Band Playing a song about a wood flower man A brand new California Uptight Band Playing a song about a wood flower man
