What will you do, where will you go, when things start to shake?
What will you do, who will you hold, when we have that earthquake?
You all know we're overdue.
You all know we're overdue.
You all know we're overdue.

Hear our song, the California Rumble.
Listen carefully for the tec-tonic symphony.
Don't you mind, as the buildings tumble.
It just clears your way to see the purple mountain's majesty.

You all know we're overdue.
You all know we're overdue.
You all know we're overdue.

Don't waste any time, tell your mother that you love her.
You don't have to pray, but careful where you choose to lay.
Be prepared, learn how to duck and to cover.
It could happen any day, but I'm sure that you'll be okay.
It could happen any day, but I'm sure you'll be okay.

You all know we're overdue.
You all know we're overdue.
You all know we're over-due.
