OK-UK poster

Everybody's going to California.
Everybody's going to California.

California holiday gets on my wick
And the kids that sing about it make me sick.
I'm OK where I am, OK - UK!

California people, they're so cool,
We're freezing in the summer but I'm no fool.
I'm OK where I am, OK - UK!

We ain't got great big cars or continental bars.
But for what it's worth it's the best place on earth
For picking up the tarts on a Saturday night.
That's what I like.

California telly goes on all night.
But just to watch a movie ain't worth the flight
I'm OK where I am, OK - UK!

It's not so sunny here, down the beach oh yeah.
But it ain't so bad if you keep on your mac.
California hippies with the yellow hair -
There's nothing there.

California dreamers are just as bad.
I'd rather go to Blackpool - it makes me mad.
I'm OK where I am, OK - UK!

Everybody's going to California.
The end of the rainbow's there.
But fill a bucket of dirt and California
I'd take the bucket and I'd come back for more
California holiday gets on my wick
And the kids that sing about it make me sick.
I'm OK where I am, OK - UK!
