I want to hear that steamer toot for a summer land that’s gay,
I want to feel that scfc sunshine of dreamy old Monterey,
I want to hear the Captain call, "Cone on, boys, let us go",
I want to sail to sunny cal and forget the coming snow*
I want to seet the cotton blossoms, the blooming citrus trees,
I want to stretch out on the sandy beqqh below Los Angeles*
I want to hear the mate yell out, "Aye., aye, sir, all lines are free",
I want to sail for sunny Cal,-that’s the only place for me.
I want to see the Berkeley hills,-high in the hazy sky,
I want to be in the only town to which all good fellows hie.
I want to hear the engine throb, and gladness will be mine,
When I pass the bars of the Gulden Gate on a ship of the Admiral Line.
I want to leave this frigid zone,-up around ’’fifty three",
I want to Hire in a bungalow home, and bathe in a silvery sea.
I want to see the steamer start,and I want to be aboard,
And when she sails for Sunny Cal,-I’ll surely praise the Lord.
