California Here I Come    (1924)

When the wintry winds starts blowing
And the snow is starting in the fall
Then my eyes went westward knowing
That's the place that I love best of all
California I've been blue
Since I've been away from you
I can't wait 'till I get blowing
Even now I'm starting in a call

California, Here I Come
Right back where I started from
Where bowers of flowers
Bloom in the spring
Each morning at dawning
Birdies sing at everything
A sunkissed miss said, "Don't be late!"
That's why I can hardly wait
Open up that golden gate
California, Here I Come

California, Here I Come (yeaaaaaah!)
Right back where I started from
Where bowers of flowers
Bloom in the spring
Each morning at dawning
Birdies sing at everything
A sunkissed miss said, "Don't be late!"
That's why I can hardly wait (come on!)
Open up (open up! open up!) that golden gate
California, Here I Come

Lyrics by Buddy DeSylva and Joseph Meyer.
