[Verse 1]
I was born in the city
Of California
And your loving reminds me
Of the Cali canyons

[Chorus]
And it's twelve o'clock in the noontime
If you want it now we can make
Love to Marvin Gaye for the first time
If you're feeling alright, right on

[Chorus]
Right, alright already
Rock this train so steady
Lord, make my car go heavy
Now give me gold and plenty
Man, I love the city
I need your love
To keep on coming, baby
And give me more love when you're ready
I'll stop rambling

[Verse 2]
So what's a guy oughta do now
Out from California (California)
When he's lost in his rambling
In Austin, Texas?
[Pre-Chorus]
Guess it's twelve o'clock in the noontime
If you want it now we can make
Love to Marvin Gaye for the first time
If you're feeling alright, right on

[Chorus]
Right, alright already
Rock this train so steady
Lord, make my car go heavy
Now give me gold and plenty
Man, I love the city
I need your love
To keep on coming, baby
And give me more love, now when you're ready
I'll stop rambling

[Post-Chorus]
Put your foot down
And get ready, baby
Stop that rambling
Yeah, oh now, yeah
Break me down

[Bridge]
Bring me back in
I'm feeling like I'm winning
Especially in the midday
Love the way you play
[Outro]
When it's twelve o' clock (Twelve o' clock in the noontime)
Yeah, you know what time it is
And I feel alright
How you feeling, baby? (Feeling alright)
Feeling alright, say that again
And again and again, uh
What time is it? (Twelve o' clock in the noontime)
Oh, baby, rock that thing steady
Give this man gold and plenty
Man, I love the city
And I'm feeling alright
(Twelve o' clock in the noontime) Twelve o' clock
Feeling it, feeling you, feeling alright, right on
I'm ready, so give me gold and plenty
I love the city
(Twelve o' clock in the noontime) Twelve o' clock
