California Lyrics

Ooh ooh ooh ooh California
Ooh ooh ooh ooh California
They say the chicks are really nice
Ooh California
And the cars they go so fast
Ooh California
And the beach is just the most
And the surf is really wild
I wish that I could stay here all my life
California
(repeat first verse)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh Mendocino
Ooh ooh ooh ooh Mendocino
They say the pot it grows so high
Ooh Mendocino
And the girls they don't wear bras
Ooh Mendocino
And the cars they don't have doors
And the hippies are such bores
Do I have to stay here all my life?
Mendocino

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
