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

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
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
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
