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
Make up or die

[Mean Guitar solo]

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