Skeeter Davis - California Uptight Band LYRICS

I made a trip to California just last week to get those castalians sounds on me

There on the corner of a parking lot was six kids playin' dirty rock

It was the California Uptight Band away out back there was a guitar man

I asked him to pick a little Wildwood Flower he looked at me kinda sore

He said what's wild about a wood flower man

I told him maybe you don't understand

I hummed him a little till he found the beat he nearly picked me off my feet

[ ac.guitar - banjo - dobro - fiddle ]

I stayed and I taught him a tone or two

A little Earl's Breakdown and some Mountain Dew

And now this group has got a brand new style they're drivin' California wild



Now it's a brand new California Uptight Band

Now they're the leaders of the west coast plan

A little education from the country side they're takin' California for a ride

I wouldn't put you on cause it ain't no gag

The Uptight Band has got a brand new bag

If you see the California Uptight Band tell them you're a wood flower man

Now it's a brand new California Uptight Band playin' a song about a wood flower man

[ ac.guitar - banjo - dobro - fiddle ]

Now it's a brand new California Uptight Band playin' a song about a wood flower man

A brand new California Uptight Band playin' a song about a wood flower man
