Oh, their butts are hard as coconuts
And their muscles are oiled steel
And the way their bathing trunks hang down
Is enough to make you reel

I’ve been all around this land of ours
And I’ve seen all kinds of boys
But the ones I need, the ones I’m greedy for
Are those blond and beach-tanned joys

I wish they all could be California
Wish they all could be California
BOYS

Oh, the East coast boys have lots of dough
They can show you a great time
And the cars they drive make you come alive
And it doesn’t cost a dime

Oh, the Midwest sons of farmers
Have those wondrous corded thighs
On a tennis court in their tennis shorts
It’s enough to make you cry

Oh, the Southern boys are smooth as silk
Gentle as a Southern breeze
Just to hear them talk their romantic talk
Sends you down upon your knees

But the boys from California
Make you glad that you’re a girl
They’re so tall and handsome that they’re worth a ransom
Make your toes and fingers curl

California boys are sexy
Their bodies are so lithe
Just a single look makes you start to cook
And squeal and squirm and writhe

I wish they all could be California
Wish they all could be California
BOYS



Author's note-- In an alternate timeline (1966a) this was performed by the girls' band "Chicklets".

Author's note 2-- The girls didn't write the lyrics. I did. I wish I could say that I got more out of Sally, Jane, Betty, and Veronica than the pleasure of seeing the song performed, but you know how it is for guys with thick glasses. If the girl doesn't wear white lipstick, the odds are infinitesimal.

So is this just a posting of their lyrics for our amusement, or is this an adaptation of those lyrics, re-worked by you? Either way, I enjoyed it, and sang my way through it.

Parody and Satire is very hard to comment on. Hmmmmmmm...

Well, first off, I think you need to put an author's note. It'll give us a probability of what you want to say. I'm a little confused if this work is entirely yours or the Chicklets.

Anyways, I got to wondering if this was true in our time. Some of the things you stated seem to be true, but I think the whole imagery in the boys in the poem lost its meaning in good ol' 2000s. Except, do California boys ever change?
