Greetings loved ones
Let's take a journey

I know a place
Where the grass is really greener
Warm, wet, and wild
There must be somethin' in the water
Sippin' gin and juice
Layin' underneath the palm trees
(Undone)
The boys break their necks

Tryin' to creep a little sneak peek
(At us)
You could travel the world
But nothing comes close to the golden coast
Once you party with us
You'll be fallin' in love

California girls, we're unforgettable
Daisy dukes, bikinis on top
Sun-kissed skin, so hot
We'll melt your popsicle
California girls, we're undeniable
Fine, fresh, fierce, we got it one lock
West-coast represent
Now put your hands up

Sex on the beach
We've got white sand in our stilettos
We freak in my jeep
Snoop Doggy Dogg on the stereo
You could travel the world
But nothing comes close to the golden coast
Once you party with us

You'll be fallin' in love
California girls, we're unforgettable
Daisy dukes, bikinis on top
Sun-kissed skin, so hot

We'll melt your popsicle
California girls, we're undeniable
Fine, fresh, fierce, we got it one lock
West-coast represent
Now put your hands up
Toned, tanned, fit, and ready

Turn it up 'cause it's gettin' heavy
Wild, wild west-coast
These are the girls I love the most
I mean the ones, I mean like she's the one
Kiss her, touch her, squeeze her buns
The girl's a freak, she drive a Jeep
And live on the Beach
I'm okay, I won't play, I love the bay

Just like I love L.A.
Venice Beach and Palm Springs
Summertime is everyday
Homeboys bangin' out
All that ass hangin' out
Bikinis, zuchinis, martinis, no weenies
Just a king and a queenie

Katy, my lady?
(Yeah?)
Looky here, baby
(Uh-huh)
I'm all up on ya
'Cause your represtin' California
California girls, we're unforgettable

Daisy dukes, bikinis on top
Sun-kissed skin, so hot
We'll melt your popsicle
California girls, we're undeniable
Fine, fresh, fierce, we got it one lock
West-coast represent
Now put your hands up
California, California girls




(California girls, man)
California, California girls

Overall Meaning

The song "California Gurls" by Katy Perry ft. Snoop Dogg is an upbeat and catchy tribute to the laidback lifestyle of California. It invites listeners to join them on a journey to a place where the grass is always greener, the girls are always fine, fresh, and fierce, and the boys are always breaking their necks to catch a glimpse of them. Sipping Gin and juice, laying under palm trees, and having sex on the beach are some of the activities mentioned that contribute to the fun and carefree lifestyle of California.


The chorus "California girls, we're unforgettable, Daisy dukes, bikinis on top, Sun-kissed skin, so hot, We'll melt your popsicle" highlights the fact that California girls have a unique style and beauty that sets them apart from girls around the world. They are confident, attractive, and unapologetic about it, and they love representing the West coast where they are from. The song also features a rap verse from Snoop Dogg where he pays homage to the girls he loves the most, kisses, touches, and squeezes their buns, and talks about his love for the city of Los Angeles.


Overall, the song is an anthemic celebration of California and its people, inviting listeners to partake in the fun and experience the joys of being a California girl or boy.
