[Verse 1]
Ah, South California
Wish I was a Kellogg's Cornflake
Floating in my bowl takin' movies
Relaxing awhile, living in style

Talking to a raisin who occasionally plays L.A.,
Casually glancing at his toupee

[Chorus]
Wish I was an English muffin
Gotta make the most out of a toaster
(Come on down)
I ease myself down
(Better come up brown)
Comin' up brown

I prefer the boysenberry
More than any ordinary jam
I'm a "Citizens for Boysenberry Jam" fan

[Verse 2]
Ah, South California
If I became a first lieutenant
Would you put my photo on your piano?
(To Maryjane)
To Maryjane
Best wishes, Martin
[Bridge]
Old Roger draft-dodger
Leaving by the basement door
Everybody knows what he's
Tippy-toeing down there for

[Chorus]
Wish I was an English muffin
Gotta make the most out of a toaster
(Come on down)
I ease myself down
(Better come up brown)
Comin' up brown

I prefer the boysenberry
More than any ordinary jam
I'm a "Citizens for Boysenberry Jam" fan

[Outro]
Ah, South California
Ah, South California
Ah, South California
Ah, South California
