California Sun
The Ramones攀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where the days are short and the nights are long
Where I'll walk
And they walk
I'll twist
And they twist
And I'll shimmy
And I'll fly
And they fly
Where they're out there having fun
In the warm California sun
Well, I'm going out west
Out on the coast
Where the California girls
Are really the most
And I'll walk
And they walk
I'll twist
And they twist
And I'll shimmy
And they shimmy
And I'll fly
And they fly
Where they're out there having fun
In the warm California sun
Well, the girls are frisky
In old 'Frisco
A pretty little chick
Wherever you go
And I'll walk
And they walk
I'll twist
And they twist
And I'll shimmy
And they shimmy
And I'll fly
And they fly
Where they're out there having fun
In the warm California sun
Where they're out there having fun
In the warm California sun
The Ramones' song "California Sun" is a classic rock song that was originally written and performed by Joe Jones in 1961. The Ramones' 1977 version features upbeat, surf-rock inspired instrumentals and lyrics that paint a picture of the California lifestyle. The song is essentially an ode to the West Coast, where the days are short and the nights are long, and where everyone is out there having fun in the warm California sun.
The first two lines of the opening verse set the scene for the song, as the singer proclaims his desire to go out west where he belongs. The subsequent lines are a call-and-response style chorus that highlights the various activities that the singer will engage in once he reaches California. The verses that follow describe California girls as being "really the most" and the city of San Francisco as being home to "frisky" girls wherever you go. The song ends with a final chorus that repeats the Sun-inspired call-and-response structure.
The lyrics are relatively straightforward, bouncing along on a wave of beachy melodies and classic punk guitar riffs. The message here is simple: life is good in California, so come and join the fun. The song captures the carefree spirit of the West Coast and paints an idyllic vision of life by the beach.
