Hello California

Well, here I am on my way back home
With my discharge in my hand
It sure is good have my two feet
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
--- Instrumental ---
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 California
I ain't never gonna leave no more
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
Hello California, California here I come...
