Freddy Cannon California, here I Come Lyrics:
California, here I come,
a-Right back where I started from.
Where bowers of flowers bloom in the sun.
Each morning at dawning,
Birdies sing and everything.
A sun-kissed miss said, "Don't be late."
a-That's why I can hardly wait.
So open up that Golden Gate,
California, here I come, yeah!
Whoo!
[Instrumental break.]
California, here I come, whoo!
Right back where I started from.
Where bowers of flowers bloom in the sun.
Each morning at dawning,
Birdies sing and everything.
A sun-kissed miss said, "Don't be late."
a-That's why I can hardly wait.
So open up that Golden Gate,
