Second single and sixth song from The Offspring’s ninth album, Days Go By. The band received mostly negative to polarizing opinions from fans to critics about the light-hearted lyrics, but the band defends it, since they “wished to have a break from the heavier themes in this album.”
[Intro]
Hey ho, let's go!
[Chorus]
Boom, boom, boom
Turn up the beat, yeah
Oh, oh, oh
I wanna feel it
(California) Don't you wish that you could come?
’Cause we're never going home
Till the summer's all gone
[Verse 1]
Summertime, living's easy
Crusin', bumpin' my Huntington Beach
’Cause the sun will shine
We have a good time
They all line up for a bump and grind
And the girl that you want
Is directly out in front
And she's waving her caboose at you
You sneeze "Achoo!"
She calls you out, and boom!
[Pre-Chorus]
I know you heard that bass
Bumpin' in my trunk
Bum-bumpin' in my trunk
Bum-bumpin' in my trunk (oh yeah)
I know you heard that bass
Bumpin' in my trunk (uh-huh)
Bum-bumpin' in my trunk (uh-huh)
Bum-bumpin' in my trunk (let's go)
[Chorus]
Boom, boom, boom
Turn up the beat, yeah
Oh, oh, oh
I wanna feel it
(California) Don't you wish that you could come?
’Cause we're never going home
Till the summer's all gone
[Verse 2]
The sun goes down, the fire pits leap
It's another summer night here in the OC
Well, I'm not no baller, though I do have an Impala
And I might say "hey," but I'd never say "holla"
The girl with the gloss
And a G-string just like floss
Well, she's waving her caboose at you
I bet you drool
She calls you out, mhm
[Pre-Chorus]
I know you heard that bass
Bumpin' in my trunk (uh huh)
Bum-bumpin' in my trunk (uh-huh)
Bum-bumpin' in my trunk (bump that trunk)
I know you heard that bass
Bumpin' in my trunk (uh-huh)
Bum-bumpin' in my trunk (uh-huh)
Bum-bumpin' in my trunk (let's go)
[Chorus]
Boom, boom, boom
Turn up the beat, yeah
Oh, oh, oh
I wanna feel it
(California) Don't you wish that you could come?
With the radio on
Blazing all summer long
Boom, boom, boom
You're all up freaking
Oh, oh, oh
My friends are drinking
(California) Don't you wish that you could come?
’Cause we're never going home
Till the summer's all gone
[Bridge]
California
California
I know you heard that bass
Bumpin' in my trunk (uh-huh)
Bum-bumpin' in my trunk (uh-huh)
Bum-bumpin' in my trunk (hey ho, let's go)
[Chorus]
Boom, boom, boom
Turn up the beat yeah
Oh, oh, oh
I wanna feel it
(California) Don't you wish that you could come?
With the radio on
Blazing all summer long
Boom, boom, boom
You're all up freaking
Oh, oh, oh
My friends are drinking
(California) Don't you wish that you could come?
’Cause we're never going home
Till the summer's all gone
[Outro]
(California) Don't you wish that you could come?
’Cause we're never going home
Till the summer's all gone
