Verse:

You are talking of Heaven,

When you talk of the West.

As a sample of Heaven,

California is best.

I'm getting fed up on the rain and snow.

My weary heart is singing "Westward Ho".

Pulling out at eleven,

For a rosecovered nest.  Oh!

Chorus:

Golden Gate,  I'm comin' to "ya",

Golden Gate, Sing "Hallelujah".

I'll live in the sun,  Love in the moon,

Where ev'ry month is June.

A little sun-kissed blonde, Is smilin' my way.

Just beyond,  The Lincoln Highway.

Going strong now it won't be long now.

Open up that Golden Gate.
