In a hot and sultry summer, on my way to Mendocino
Well I got my lucky number, when I drank a capuccino
There she was and I thought maybe she is a hitch-hike baby
and before I found her out, she was riding next to me
but soon the night was falling
and I took her out to dance
Oh I fell in love in Mendocino
In the Californian sun
Oh I lost my heart in Mendocino
days of love and having fun
memories of you, don't know what to do
change your mind and come back to me
I was only seventeen still young and rather giddy
Not so silly no, nor green, no not a chicka-biddy
Took a chance but I was shakin', oh boy, my heart was breaking
Then I pulled myself together, when he said: come with me
but soon the night was falling
and he took me out to dance
Oh I fell in love in Mendocino
In the Californian sun
Oh I lost my heart in Mendocino
days of love and having fun
memories of you, don't know what to do
change your mind and come back to me
Oh I fell in love in Mendocino
In the Californian sun
Oh I lost my heart in Mendocino
days of love and having fun
memories of you, don't know what to do
change your mind and come back to me
