Manu Dibango

How you doing?

Oh, shit

I ain't seen you in a long time, girl

Uh huh, party, party

Now wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute

Now wait a minute

California knows how to party

California knows how to party

In the city, of L.A.

In the city, of good old Watts

In the city, city of Compton

They're Poplocking, woo

Poplocking in Rolls-Royce, Cadillacs, Lincoln and Mercedes-Benz

Poplocking in Howard Johnson, Sheraton

Poplocking at the Holiday Inn

Poplocking in Hollywood, it's understood

While listening to the Mac

Poplocking at Broadway, everyday

To the preacher's rag

So rough, so tough, out here, baby

So rough, so tough, out here

California knows how to party

California knows how to party

In the city, of L.A.

In the city, of good old Watts

In the city, city of Compton

They're Poplocking

Dance, dance, disco style

It's all on the West Coast

Living good and playing hard

Cruising the Boulevard

Leaning and feeling

And you won't be dreaming

That's what it's all about

So rough, so tough, out here, baby

So rough, so tough, out here, baby

So rough, so tough, out here, baby

So rough, so tough, out here, baby

Woo

Lock it up, baby

Woo, ya

Lock them shoulders

Lock them arms

Now lock that neck

You just raise those fingers in the air

I swear it's getting mighty funky out there

There's a party over here

There's a party over there

Can't I get a right on, cuz?

Playboys

That's cool, clean and mean

Can't I get a right on, cuz?

Right on

So rough, so tough, out here, baby

So rough, so tough, out here
