(Little Corona is the name of a section of beach in Southern California
where each year hundreds of people come to get baptized in the waters of
the Pacific. This song is dedicated to them.)
chorus:
Come on down to California Blue
Bring your old man
your old lady too
Plunge in, then out
you will be like new
Catch a ride, get inside
that big California Blue
For some it's just a gold rush
'cause fools gold does entice
But deep beneath the surface
lies a Pearl of Great Price
And to those who take possession
there's salvation, love, and glory
Their old clothes change to garments white
in this rags to riches story
So
I was in town so I thought I'd phone ya,
see how you're doin', and say "Aloha"
If you're inclined, we'll drive to California,
make our way out to Little Corona
Here seagulls are descending
like a flock of holy Doves
A promise of an endless summer,
sunshine and eternal love
And if you want a happy ending
of salvation, love, and glory
Climb down the cliffs to the surf and sand
where you'll hear the Old Old Story
