[ Don Rich ]

Hello California California here I come

Well here I am on my way back home with my discharge in my hand

It sure is good have might to be back on solid land

I didn't see a woman for eighteen days when I crawled aboard that ship

And seein' all the girls in mini skirts is givin' my heart a lift

Hello California you sure are place to see

Goodbye Arizona you're just a little too hot for me

Well New York City and Albuquerque sure was a lotta fun

Hello California California here I come

[ ac.guitar ]

Well when I left home about a year ago I sure wasn't much of a man

And there's still a lotta things in this old world that I don't understand

But there's one thing that I'm certain of I should have figured it out before

Oh when I get back to Calirnia I ain't never gonna leave no more

Hello California...

Hello California California here I come
