Up north Freezing, little me 
drooling, that's entertainment's on 
at eight come on ginger slam
I don't know this sea of neon, 
thousand surfers, whiffs of freon
and my new grandma Bea Arthur
come on over

F#          B                 
Ain't it a shame that at the top 
    F#                B        
peanut butter and jam they serve 
          F#

I don't know this sea of neon, 
thousand surfers, whiffs of freon...

Ain't it a shame that all the world 
can't enjoy your mad traditions?
Ain't it a shame that all the world 
don't got keys to their own 
ignitions
life is the longest death in 
California
