[English]

Get your motor running

California interstate one

Pacific coast party

If you got to work today

Get yourself a new vocation

Pacific coast party

You don't have to mind Father Time, Mother Nature

Get yourself in line

Take your time

And watch it slip away

Just quit your bitching, bite your tongue

Save it for a rainy day, son

Pacific coast party

Get your ticket, pack your bags

Come and join the celebration

Pacific coast party

If you want a fine piece of mind

Come and get it

Get yourself in line

Take your time

And watch it slip away

Pacific coast party

...

Hey, I heard somebody say

Work harder than you play

But I never missed a single day's party

Word, I never heard a word

I turn the other way

Pacific coast party

...

You don't have to mind Father Time, Mother Nature

Get yourself in line

Take your time

And watch it slip away

Hey, I heard somebody say

Work harder than you play

But I never missed a single's day's party

Word, I never heard a word

I turn the other way, oh

Pacific coast party

Hey, I heard somebody say

Work harder than you play

But I never missed a single day's party

Word, I never heard a word

I turn the other way

Pacific coast party

Pacific coast party

Pacific coast party

Pacific coast party

...
