Switchfoot - California Christmas lyrics

Ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba

Welcome to my California Christmas
Twinkling lights on all the fake palm trees
The only snow that falls is the
Fake stuff at the mall
Bathing suit's in eighty-five degrees
(Ah, ah)

Welcome to my California Christmas
(Welcome to my California)
The skies are blue
The sun is warm and bright
(The skies are blue
The sun is warm and bright)
When Santa Claus makes the drive
Stuck in traffic on the 5 (Ba ba ba ba)
It's a California Christmas Eve

So grab a Christmas tree
I'll meet you down the beach
Plant your mistletoes in the sand
Right next to me
'Cause that Pacific breeze is
Gonna set you free
I'll be wishing you a California, California

Welcome to my California Christmas
(Welcome to the west coast Christmas)
The avocado groves and graffiti kings
(Avocados, avocados)
The gremmies fight for waves as
The sunset melts away
Garage rock evening filled
With broken strings (Ba ba ba ba)

So jingle all the way from out in east LA
Down the coast in your
Camaro Christmas sleigh
Ring the Christmas bell down at the Hotel del
And I'll be wishing you a California
California Christmas (Ah)

Put up a tree at your
Favorite beach with a smoothie
Throw your board in the car in
Case there's a Christmas swell
There'll be blue skies and sunshine
And seagulls and maybe Jacuzzis
Strike up the band, toes in the
Sand, ringing the Christmas bells, yeah

(Santa hat and shades are so passé)
(What a Californian thing to say)
The Día de los Reyes
The Pasadena Rose Parade
The best of west coast seasonal clichés

Throw your Christmas tree up on your SUV
Make your plans in the Pacific
Sand and set them free
Hang your Christmas lights and
Make the season bright
And I'll be wishing up a
California Christmas for ya

(California, California)
(California, California) ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba
