going north, going north
going north find a city girl
and i don't know her
she don't know me
every clam has got its pearl
going east, going east
going east find the love of my life
and the good lord knows who she might be
i'm thinking i've found my wife
going west, going west
going west californai-ay
and them girls are looking pretty
buy them in L.A.
going south, going south
going south find a well-bred girl and
i don't know her
she don't know me
every clam has got its pearl
