What's happening, how you doing?
Oh sure, chill, I ain’t seen you in a long time, girl
Uh-huh, party, party!
(Now wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute)
Now, wait a minute...

California knows how to party
California knows how to party
In the city of LA
In the city of good old Watts
In the city, city of Compton
They're poplocking, woo!

Poplocking in Rolls-Royce, Cadillacs, Lincolns and Mercedes Benz
Poplocking in Howard Johnson, Sheraton
Poplocking at the Holiday Inn
Poplocking in Hollywood, it's understood
While listening to the Mac
Poplocking on Broadway, everyday
To the Preacher's rag

So rough, so tough, out here baby
So rough, so tough, out here
California knows how to party
California knows how to party
In the city of LA
In the city of good old Watts
In the city, city of Compton
They're poplocking
Dance, jazz, disco styles
It's all on the West Coast
Living good and playing hard
Cruising the Boulevard
Leaning, fiending
And you won't be dreaming
That's what it's all about

So rough, so tough, out here baby
So rough, so tough, out here baby
So rough, so tough, out here baby
So rough, so tough, out here baby

Woo! Lock it up, baby. Woo, yeah!
Lock them shoulders
Lock them arms
Now lock that neck
Just raise those fingers in the air
I swear it's getting mighty funky out there
There's a party over here
There's a party over there
Can't get it right on, cuz
Playboys – that's cool, clean and mean
Can I get a right on, cuz? (Right on!)

So rough, so tough, out here baby
So rough, so tough, out here
California knows how to party
California knows how to party
In the city of LA
In the city of good old Watts
In the city, city of Compton
Woo! They're poplocking
Poplocking in Rolls-Royces, Cadillacs, Lincolns and Mercedes Benz
Poplocking in Howard Johnson, Sheraton
Poplocking at the Holiday Inn
Poplocking in Hollywood, it's understood
While listening to the Mac
Poplocking on Broadway, everyday
To the Preacher's rag

So rough, so tough, out here baby
So rough, so tough, out here
California knows how to party
California knows how to party
In the city of LA
In the city of good old Watts
In the city, city of Compton
Woo! They're poplocking

Dance, jazz, disco styles
It's all on the West Coast
Living good and playing hard
And cruising the Boulevard
Leaning, fiending
And you won't be dreaming
That's what it's all about... woo!

So rough, so tough, out here baby
So rough, so tough, out here baby
So rough, so tough, out here baby
