California Uptight Band Lyrics - Skeeter Davis

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
