When it's cold outside
And it's raining down on me
There's a place I'd like to go
But it's a place I've never been
I'd make a home for me right there
In the light of the Western shore
And I can stay there safe and warm
With just peace for me in store

I would go anywhere
To get away from here
I don't care where I go
But there's one thing I know

It's just another sunny day in California
That's all I had to say, I thought I'd better warn ya
Bikini-clad girls will help improve your feelings
Instead of crying on the floor, you'll be dancing on the ceiling

When I'm feeling beaten
And there's no-one who wants to know
I pour a drink and wear a smile
While I think of where I'd go
And when there's nowhere left to run
From this mess I call my life
I think it's there I'll settle down
With a Puerto-Rican wife

I would go anywhere
To get away from here
I don't care where I go
But there's one thing I know

It's just another sunny day in California
That's all I had to say, I thought I'd better warn ya
Bikini-clad girls will help improve your feelings
Instead of crying on the floor, you'll be dancing on the ceiling
