[Verse 1]
G C
About two years ago
G C
Working in the rodeo
G C
I saw the strangest looking man
G C
Playing in a rock 'n' roll band
C C Db
He had a twenty-foot mustache
D D Eb
Wore a purple lavender sash
E E Eb
The drummer brought him on with a crash
D N.C. D
Introduced the one and only California Flash
[Verse 2]
G C
He jumped out onto the stage
G C
He knew he had everything made
G C
He broke out into a song
G C
Oh, he couldn't do nothing wrong
C C Db
Then he started doing a dance
D D Eb
He said it was imported from France
E E Eb
The girls all started to prance
D N.C. D
To see the California Flash removing his pants

D F D C
Taking off his pants, huh

The crowd kept screaming for more
G C
When California left the floor
G C
He waved goodbye with a smile
G C
As naked as a newborn child
C C Db
Suddenly we all heard a crash
D D Eb
Everybody hid all their hash
E E Eb
The door caved in with a smash
D N.C. D
And ninety-nine policemen busted California Flash
[Outro]
D F D C
Oh, goodbye, goodbye, huh, so long
