                                       A
Going to a party, meet me out after school
             B                                          E
Well, we're going to a place where the jive is really cool
                                                        A
And if the band stops playing there's a jukebox in the hall
                  B
Well, with your blue dress on and your folks all gone
                             D  A  E
You'll sure give the guys a ball

A
Get that real guitar boy shakin'
D                 E
I'm a California man
A
Dance right on till the floors are breakin'
D                 E
I'm a California man

Chorus:
         B
Well I cross my mamma so bad
          F#
And this woman, she's making me mad
   B
So I don't care if your legs start aching
F#         B      E
I'm a California man

Oh my legs start to shiver when
I hear you call my name
Well, my knees keep a-knocking and
I'm feeling tired bugs me down
And when we take off fine
and my jeans are way down low
When I waggle my hips it's making me feel
Like the king of rock 'n' roll

Get that real guitar boy shakin'
I'm a California man
Dance right on till the floors are breakin'
I'm a California man

Chorus:
Well I cross my mamma so bad
And this woman, she's making me mad
So I don't care if your legs start aching
I'm a California man
I'm a California man

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
With your blue dress on and your folks all gone
You're sure to give the guys a ball
Get that real guitar boy shakin'
I'm a California man
Dance right on till the floors are breakin'
I'm a California man

Chorus:
Well I cross my mamma so bad
And this woman's she's a-making me mad
So I don't care if your legs start aching
I'm a California man
I'm a California man
