[upbeat guitar and harmonica] [Verse] Pardon me boy Is that the California Choo Choo No track laid yet Boy you can give me a Dime Can you afford To board the California Choo Choo I got my fare But I'm not going anywhere [Pre-Chorus] You'll leave the San Francisco station Read a magazine and then you're in Bakersfield Dinner in the diner Nothing could be finer Then you'll have Avocado Toast and your Latte [Chorus] When you hear the whistle blowing eight to the bar Then you know that L.A. is not very far But this wont happen Never got it rollin Woo-woo California there you are We’re off the rails, off the rails, California's big idea that somehow always fails. A billion here, a billion there, Still no train anywhere. We’re off the rails, off the rails— A high‑speed dream derailed. California Choo Choo You'll leave the San Francisco station Read a magazine then you're in Bakersfield Dinner in the diner Nothing could be finer Then You'll have Avocado Toasts and your Latte [Chorus] When you hear the whistle blowing eight to the bar Then you know that L.A. is not very far But this wont happen Never got it rollin Woo-woo California there you are
