(Don't You Go To) Goleta Lyrics

Baby don't cha go don't cha go to Goleta
Baby don't cha go don't cha go to Goleta
Baby don't cha go don't cha go to Goleta
Baby don't cha go now
Don't cha go

I've been there and I've seen them drinkin' now
Thinkin' all the time that they're going to school
Well, maybe some day they might learn something
But being fascist rich kids just ain't cool

Baby don't cha go don't cha go into Westwood
Baby don't cha go don't cha go into Westwood
Baby don't cha go don't cha go into Westwood
Baby don't cha go now
Don't cha go

I've been there and I've seen the styles they wear
Their haircuts down to their clean white shoes
Don't you know baby, that it's all a facade,ya know
Intelligence is not something you should avoid

Baby don't cha go don't cha go to La Jolla
Baby don't cha go don't cha go to La Jolla
Baby don't cha go don't cha go to La Jolla
Baby don't cha go now
Don't cha go

I've been there and I've seen their attitude
They don't like folks who are not like them
Maybe someday they'll take a vacation,
Like on some flight over to Europe to take a nice cruise in the Mediterranean, but on the way over it's very likely they'd be hijacked by some terrorist group seeking media approval. They'd be in a really bad situation, in danger of their lives. They'd be thinking "Well, they can't do this to me, cause I'm an American Citizen"


Babe why don't cha go why don't cha go somewhere
Babe why don't cha go why don't cha go somewhere
Babe why don't cha go why don't cha go somewhere
Babe why don't cha go now
Somewhere else

Cover art for (Don't You Go To) Goleta lyrics by Camper Van Beethoven

This cheeky song is about Southern California coastal University of California schools.

Goleta is where UC Santa Barbara is located. At the time, it was the biggest party school in the system. So they are fascist rich kids drinking

Westwood is where UCLA is located. The stereotype of LA types is that they are image-conscious instead of intelligent.

La Jolla is where UC San Diego is located. Not really sure where this is headed. UC San Diego was mostly known as an engineering and Biotechnology school at the time. Most students were dorks not snobs.

CVB played at all these schools, so maybe they had interactions with students there.
