I ain't seen you in a long time, girl
Now wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute
California knows how to party
California knows how to party
In the city, of good old Watts
In the city, city of Compton
Poplocking in Rolls-Royce, Cadillacs, Lincoln and Mercedes-Benz
Poplocking in Howard Johnson, Sheraton
Poplocking at the Holiday Inn
Poplocking in Hollywood, it's understood
While listening to the Mac
Poplocking at Broadway, everyday
So rough, so tough, out here, baby
So rough, so tough, out here
California knows how to party
California knows how to party
In the city, of good old Watts
In the city, city of Compton
Dance, dance, disco style
It's all on the West Coast
Living good and playing hard
And you won't be dreaming
That's what it's all about
So rough, so tough, out here, baby
So rough, so tough, out here, baby
So rough, so tough, out here, baby
So rough, so tough, out here, baby
You just raise those fingers in the air
I swear it's getting mighty funky out there
There's a party over here
There's a party over there
Can't I get a right on, cuz?
That's cool, clean and mean
Can't I get a right on, cuz?
So rough, so tough, out here, baby
So rough, so tough, out here
California knows how to party
California knows how to party
In the city, of good old Watts
In the city, city of Compton
Poplocking in Rolls-Royce, Cadillacs, Lincoln and Mercedes-Benz
Poplocking in Howard Johnson, Sheraton
Poplocking at the Holiday Inn
Poplocking in Hollywood, it's understood
While listening to the Mac
Poplocking at Broadway, everyday
So rough, so tough, out here, baby
So rough, so tough, out here
California knows how to party
California knows how to party
In the city, of good old Watts
In the city, city of Compton
Dance, dance, disco style
It's all on the West Coast
Living good and playing hard
And cruising the Boulevard
And you won't be dreaming
That's what it's all about
So rough, so tough, out here, baby
So rough, so tough, out here, baby
So rough, so tough, out here, baby
Shake your booty and bust your soul
Shake your booty and bust your soul
Shake your booty and bust your soul (make you wanna scream, make you wanna scream)
Shake your booty and bust your soul (make you wanna scream, make you wanna scream)
