Oh, you railway station, oh you Pullman train (I’m goin’)
Here’s my reservation for my destination
Far beyond the western plains
To see my…
Part 1
Home in Pasadena, home where grass is greener
Where honeybees hum melodies and orange trees scent the breeze,
I wanna be a home sweet homer, there I’ll settle down
Beneath the palms in someone’s arms,
In Pasadena town.
Part 2
Soon I’ll be on my merry way, to that dreamland of yesterday,
Tell the mailman I long to stay, my California,
To be where honeybees and orange trees
They scent the breeze, sweet melodies.
Settle down in that happy town, with the mountains there all around,
Friendly people there to be found, nuts right by my door,
There beneath the palms, in somebody’s arms.
In Pasadena town.
Part 3
Oh there’ll be an aggregation, waiting for me at the station,
In Pasadena town, in Pasadena town,
All my life I’ve been a rover now its time to think it over
I want to settle down, I want to settle down,
Busy little bumblebees, syncopated melodies
Trees are slowly swinging while the birds are softly singing in the breeze.
Be a happy home sweet homer nevermore to be roamer
In Pasadena town, in Pasadena town,
There away from all the worry of the city’s hurry scurry
Every evening when the sun goes down,
Moonin’ Junin’ honeymoonin’ palms,
Captivatin ,fascinatin’ arms,
P-A-S-A-D-E-N-A town.
