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
