California Love Songtext
von Zapp & Roger

California love

California knows how to party
California knows how to party
In the city of L.A
In the city of good ol′ Watts
In the city, city of Compton
We keep it rockin'
We keep it rockin′

Come on, come on, come on
Shake, shake it baby
Shake, shake it (Shake it baby)
Shake, shake it mama
Shake it Cali (Shake it Cali)
Shake, shake it baby (Oh)
Shake, shake it (Shake it baby)
Shake, shake it mama
Shake it Cali


Now let me welcome everybody to the C-A-P-P
It's the B-I-G G-R-O-B-B
Kickin' up in your speakers, knockin′ a hole up in your trunks
I got more bounce and more funk
Ta-dow, I keep the Zap fans happy
With the flavor that they savor, neighbor
It′s a great day to be a neighbor
Wouldn't you like to be a neighbor in my neighborhood?
Mr. Rogers is my neighbor and the Zap flavor′s all good
Ooh-wee, ooh-wee
It's the C-A-P-P blessed by G-O-D
Increasing the peace from New York City to San Francisco
Come to the Zap Show and see the Fat Man disco
"Go Big Rob, go Big Rob, go"
Is what the girlies all say when I shake my jello
Standing on the stage preaching peace like Peter Piper
Big Rob does the job wearing nothing but a diaper

California (California) knows how to party (Knows how to party)
California (West Coast) knows how to party (Yes, they do)
In the city of L.A. (City of L.A.)
In the city of good ol′ Watts (Good ol' Watts)
In the city, city of Compton (City of Compton)
We keep it rockin′ (Keep it rockin')
Keep it rockin' (Keep it rockin′)

Shake, shake it baby
Shake it mama, shake it mama, shake it
Beauty, beauty, beauty, beauty, beauty, oh
California love

California (California) knows how to party (Knows how to party)
California (West Coast) knows how to party (Yes, they do)
In the city of L.A. (The city of L.A.)
In the city of good ol′ Watts (Good ol', good ol′ Watts)
In the city, city of Compton (City of Compton)
We keep it rockin' (Keep it rockin′)
Keep it rockin' (Keep it rockin′)


Yeah, here's a little ditty 'bout Ohio boys on a quest
Bold, lookin′ for gold, we gotta go west (Go west, G)
Black gold, Texas tea
So we loaded up the Jeep and rolled out to Beverly
Plantin′ Midwest funk to make your trunk go thump in the night
From Diego to the Bay, we had to bring 'em somethin′ tight
Tight as a black man with his brother
So we stopped tryin' to kill one another
Just about then they said we couldn′t do it
Robbie stepped to the mic and began to go to it
Then all of a sudden the stage starts to shake
Stage starts shakin' like a California earthquake
Shake, shake it baby, shake it Cali
Now the story′s all told 'cause Zap found the gold
In the souls of the people in Cali

California (California) knows how to party (Knows how to party)
California (West Coast) knows how to party (Yes, they do)
In the city of L.A. (The city of L.A.)
In the city of good ol' Watts (Good ol′
, Good ol′, good ol', good ol′ Watts)
In the city, city of Compton (City of Compton)
We keep it rockin' (Keep it rockin′)
Keep it rockin' (Keep it rockin′)

Oh
Rock on, yeah yeah, California love (California love)
