Nobody’s good at raising roaches
Nobody’s good at balling Jane
And I’m sleeping in the backs of coaches
Nobody’s gonna heal my pain
It’s the same jive every time
California on his mind
It’s the same jive every time
California on his mind

Dobie get the phone sort me out a loan
Let me try to buy up all the tea in China
Get me out the hole and put me on a roll
Coz there’s nothing going down in Carolina

Nobody’s good at raising roaches
Nobody’s good at balling Jane
And I’m sleeping in the backs of coaches
Nobody’s gonna heal my pain

It’s the same jive every time
California on his mind
It’s the same jive every time
California on his mind

He go de root-toot-root-tooty-doo
He go de root-toot-root-tooty-doo

Dobie get the rye and the sweet potato pie
And I hear ya hit a yak in Minnesota
It sure does make a mess, have you got the right
address
I hear you bought a little shack in South Dakota

Nobody’s good at raising roaches
Nobody’s good at balling Jane
And I’m sleeping in the backs of coaches
Nobody’s gonna heal my pain

It’s the same jive every time
California on his mind
It’s the same jive every time
California on his mind

He go de root-toot-root-tooty-doo
He go de root-toot-root-tooty-doo

I’m doing what I can working on a plan
I’ve thought about it sitting in the sauna
My life is up to speed I know just what I need
I’m just about to turn the corner

Nobody’s good at raising roaches
Nobody’s good at balling Jane
And I’m sleeping in the backs of coaches
Nobody’s gonna heal my pain

It’s the same jive every time
California on his mind
It’s the same jive every time
California on his mind

He go de root-toot-root-tooty-doo
He go de root-toot-root-tooty-doo
