California Loves the Homeless

"California Loves the Homeless" was a song featured in the Season Eleven episode, "Night of the Living Homeless".

Background

The boys lure the homeless away from South Park with a large steel-plated touring bus, sending them to Los Angeles, California, with promises of people who will give them loose change.

Lyrics

Alright Hit it!
Let's hope to Christ this works
California Love
 
California
Is nice to the homeless
Californ-ya-ya
Super cool to the homeless
 
In the city
City of Santa Monica
Lots of rich people
Giving change to the homeless
 
(Change?)
 
In the city
City of Brentwood
They take really good care
Of all their homeless
 
(They're listening let's go)
 
In the city
Marina Del Rey
They're so nice to the homeless
Built 'em port a potties
 
(th... they're leading them away!
We're gonna be alright!
Oh Glen we made it!)
 
California
Super cool to the homeless
(Change?)
Californ-ya-ya
Is known for donor
 
In the city
City of Venice
Right by Matt's house
You can chill if your homeless

Trivia

• The lyrics and melody resemble Tupac Shakur's hit song "California Love".
• The touring bus was inspired by the movie 'Dawn of the Dead. In the movie, the buses were used to help the survivors escape the zombies.
• Obviously, the line about "Matt's house" is referring to the one and only Matt Stone.
• The song mentions the cities of Santa Monica, Brentwood, Marina del Ray, and Venice. All four cities are located within the Westside area of Los Angeles County.
