I'm gonna shake, I'm gonna shimmy too
I'm gonna shake, I'm gonna really move
I'm gonna ride my skateboard all the way

I really dig your beaches and
the girls they're all peaches
Yeah, Black's beach is such a cool break too

I don't know why I'm living this way
Must have coppertone on my brain

It's really fun out in the sun
I fight the mob out in the smog
But you can keep old Californ-i-a

And when you fall into the sea
Don't you look for me,
I'll be in Boston Hey Hey Hey

I guess I'm not hip to your kind of trip
Your tans don't mean shit to me

[Chorus]
So goodbye California
It's been really nice
Goodbye California, Goodbye California
Wake up or die!

[Guitar solo]

I'm going back home to see the Ramones
Get your ass off the phone, let's go!!

[Chorus 2x]
