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
Keep it rockin'! Keep it rockin'!

Now let me welcome everybody to the wild, wild west
A state that's untouchable like Elliot Ness
We in the sunshine state with the thompin' hot beat
You'll never find a dance floor empty
Throw up your hand if you feel the same way
Then puttin' it down for Californ-i-a

California... knows how to party
California... knows how to party
In the city of L.A.
In the city, city of Frisco
In the city, city of Hollywood
Keep it rockin'! Keep it rockin'!

Shake it, shake it baby
Shake it, shake it mamas
Shake it, shake it baby
Shake it, shake it mamas

California... knows how to party
California... knows how to party
In the city of L.A.
In the city, city of Oakland
In the city, city of Sac-Town
Keep it rockin'! Keep it rockin'!
