[Lyrics]
Well East coast girls are hip, I really dig those styles they wear
And the Southern girls with the way they talk, they knock me out when I’m down there
The mid-west farmers daughters really make you feel alright
And the northern girls with the way they kiss, they keep their boyfriends warm at night
The West coast has the sunshine, and the girls all get so tanned
I dig a French bikini on Hawaii island dolls, by a palm tree in the sand
I been all around this great big world, and I’ve seen all kinds of girls
Yeah, but I couldn’t wait to get back in the states, back to the cutest girls in the world
