e--0-2-4-4-2
b------ 0-2-4-4-5 5-4-2-0-0
g------ 3-4
See them on the big bright screen
tan and blonde and seventeen
eating non-food keeps them mean
but they're young forever
if they must grow up
they marry dukes and earls
I hate California girls
They ain't broke so they put on airs
the faux folks sans derrieres
they breathe coke and they have affairs
with each passing rock star
they come on like squares
then get off like squirrels
I hate California girls
(with riff)
then Bridge:
Looking down their perfect noses
at me and my kind
do they think we won't-
well nevermind
laughing through their perfect teeth
at everyone I know
do they think we won't
get up and go
so
I have planned my grand attacks
I will stand behind their backs
with my brand-new battle-axe
then will they taste my wrath?
They will hear me say
as the pavement whirls
"I hate California girls.."
