A
Goin to a party meet me out after school
           B                                        E
Well we're goin to a place where the jive is really cool
                                                         A
And if the band stops playin there's a juke box down the hall
              B
And with your blue dress on your folks are all gone
                        G   D  E
Sure to give the guys a ball

[Chorus]
A                                D                E
Get that real guitar boy shakin, I'm a California man
A                                          D                E
Dance right on till the floors are breakin I'm a California man
B                                   F#
Well I rocked my mamma so fast that woman she's a makin me mad
B                                   F#      B        E
I don't care if your legs start achin I'm a California man

                                                      A
Well my legs start to shiver when I hear you call my name
            B                                   E
Well my knees keep a knockin my bow tie's bustin out
                                                        A
When my feet start to fly and my jeans strung way down low
