[Verse 1]
 G               C
About two years ago
G                  C
Working in the rodeo
  G                         C
I saw the strangest looking man
G                          C
Playing in a rock 'n' roll band
   C                         C Db
He had a twenty-foot mustache
D                          D Eb
Wore a purple lavender sash
    E                                  E Eb
The drummer brought him on with a crash
D N.C.                                       D
Introduced the one and only California Flash

[Verse 2]
   G                   C
He jumped out onto the stage
   G                      C
He knew he had everything made
   G                C
He broke out into a song
       G                   C
Oh, he couldn't do nothing wrong
C                            C Db
Then he started doing a dance
   D                               D Eb
He said it was imported from France
    E                          E Eb
The girls all started to prance
   D N.C.                                      D
To see the California Flash removing his pants

[Interlude]
D  F              D      C
    Taking off his pants, huh

[Verse 3]
    G                        C
The crowd kept screaming for more
     G                   C
When California left the floor
   G                    C
He waved goodbye with a smile
   G                  C
As naked as a newborn child
C                            C Db
Suddenly we all heard a crash
D                           D Eb
Everybody hid all their hash
    E                         E Eb
The door caved in with a smash
    D N.C.                                        D
And ninety-nine policemen busted California Flash

[Outro]
D     F                 D   C
  Oh, goodbye, goodbye, huh, so long
