California, California   Much has been told me about your beautiful sunshine   Mountains and snow tops, valleys and rich crops   California, home so far from mine      San Francisco, Sacramento   Will I ever go to Los Angeles or San Diego ?   To Reading or Fresno   Needles or Borstow, California I have so far to go      Someday I will be in California   And go to places movie stars have been   Hollywood and trolley cars and oranges   And see the palm trees bending in the wind      California, California   Soon I'll be with you watching your sunset in the evening   Movies and show plays, beaches and free ways   California, from my home I'll be leaving      California, California   Soon I'll be with you watching your sunset in the evening   Movies and show plays, beaches and free ways   California, for my home I'm leaving
