It Never Rains In Southern California Lyrics

The Mamas & The Papas

Got on board a west-bound seven forty seven
Didn't think before decidin what to do
All that talk of opportunity
TV breaks and movies
Rang true, sure rang true
Seems it never rains in southern California
Seems i've often heard that kind of talk before

It never rains in California
But girl, don't they warn ya
It pours, man it pours

Out of work
I'm out of my head
Out of self-respect
I'm out of bread
I'm underloved
I'm underfed
I wanna go home

It never rains in California
But girl, don't they warn ya
It pours, man it pours

Will you tell the folks back home I nearly made it
Had offers but don't know which one to take
Please don't tell em how you found me
Don't tell em how you found me
Gimme a break
Give me a break

Seems it never rains in southern California
Seems i've often heard that kind of talk before
It never rains in California
But girl, don't they warn ya
It pours, man it pours
