Verse:

Oh! you Railway station,

Oh! you Pullman train!

Here's my reservation,

For my destination,

Far beyond the Western Plain.

 

Chorus:

To see my Home in Pasadena,

Home where grass is greener,

Where honey bees hum melodies,

And orange trees scent the breeze.

I'm gonna be a Home Sweet Homer,

There I'll settle down,

Beneath the palms in someones arms,

In Pasadena Town.
