Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
  • California girls, we're undeniable
  • Fine, fresh, fierce, we got it on lock
  • West Coast represent

Sing it again — final chorus

  • Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
  • Toned tan, fit and ready
  • Turn it up 'cause it's getting heavy
  • Wild, wild West Coast
