California Gurls
Alex Goot Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know a place
Where the grass is really greener
Warm, wet and wild
There must be something in the water
Sippin' gin and juice
Layin' underneath the palm trees (undone)
The boys break their necks
Try'na 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 falling in love
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
California girls we're unforgettable
Daisy Dukes, bikinis on top
Sun kissed skin so hot
We'll melt your popsicle
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
California girls we're undeniable
Fine, fresh, fierce
We got it on lock
West Coast represent, now put your hands up
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
Sex on the beach
We don't mind 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 falling in love
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
California girls we're unforgettable
Daisy Dukes, bikinis on top
Sun kissed skin so hot
We'll melt your posicle
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
California girls we're undeniable
Fine, fresh, fierce
We got it on lock
West Coast represent, now put your hands up




Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
California girls, california gurls

How the hell can people have voices like this beats me but this is amazing. Was completely shocked with how good it was!!

@JaxTheReaper21

Wow, it may be Katty Parry's song, but damn, you effin owned it man! That is some seriously awesome talent you have there. If you made it big, I'd certainly buy your albums.

@gsaldana22

This is probably my favorite cover of Alex's...well, top 5. When I got it on iTunes, i didn't realize it was 4 years old!! He should do an updated one, maybe a duet with Luke, or Julia, or Chrissy, or... wait...Megan Nicole! Yes! That would be amazing. Maybe a mash-up of this and the Beach Boys' "California Girls?" Wow... one can only dream, though.
