The Beach Boys are among the cream of the crop of American pop music. It’s presumptuous of us to “improve” their lyrics, but times change, ideas change, and even the great ones need a bit of tweaking. Our diligent staff of song lyric testers and tweakers are working on a new version of California Girls. Here’s the alpha version. They would request your comments.
French Chardonnay is nice,
I really dig their oaked Chablis.
And a good Margaux just makes me glow
But it’s sure a bit pricey.
Italy got’s great Chianti
A good one drives me crazy.
I love their Barbera and Nebbiolo
And don’t forget Sangiovese.
I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California wines.
The West Coast has the climate.
It’s got a great terroir.
Their Zinfandel tastes really swell
So does Napa Pinot Noir.
I’ve been all around this great big world
And I’ve sipped all kinds of wine
Yeah, but I couldn’t wait to get back to Napa
And have some juice from a local vine.
I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California wines.
