[Verse 1]
If everybody in the U.S.A
Could come with us to Californ-i-a
We could take them to a place out west
Where the good sun shines everyday
Now there's a touch of Californ-i-a
In everyone who's ever been this way
And when your telephone begins to ring
And the operator comes on the line
[Chorus]
California calling
I'll be there right away
There's some beautiful women
Going to find me one
To show me how to ride the ultimate wave
[Verse 2]
Now I've joined the surfing nation and so
I'll take a permanent vacation and go
To the golden shores of 'Frisco Bay
I'll ride them all the way to Malibu
And I'll take you boogie boarding with me
Because when we're surfing it's so great to be free
And when you're on a California beach
You might even find them windsurfing too
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
In the fifties it was "Hey Daddy O"
Then came the surfers and the Hodads you know
We had our woodies and our custom cars
And when we drove around we knew we were bad
My baby listens to my car radio
And when we're cruising lets the whole world know
And when our favorite surfing song comes on
We always let them know it's "Totally Rad!"
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
California calling
She's still on the line
There's a beautiful woman
Going to show me how
To ride them at the county line
[Chorus]
