California Lady
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She always skis the winter season
Try to catch her if you please
She makes the men wish... they were a
Little bit bolder
Or on the beach at malibu
Where her talents really show on through
She makes the boys wish... they were a
Little bit older
Sweet sunny cal-california
Sweet sunny california lady
Sweet sunny cal-california
Sweet california kind of lady
She drives a little foreign car
She's always lookin' like a movie star
Your heart's on fire... 'cause you're dyin'
To try her
She always wears those slinky clothes
Causin' riots everywhere she goes
Your eyes are shoppin'... oh but will she
Let you buy
Sweet sunny cal-california
Sweet sunny california lady
Sweet sunny cal-california
Sweet california kind of lady
She's a california girl lookin' so tan
And tall
Sunny california girls-wishin' i could love
Them all...
