I’ve come to Califor-Nee-A, Califor-Nee-A.

Closing Theme Lyrics:

California

California

 

I’ve travelled here.

I’ve travelled there.

I guess I’ve been most everywhere.

But I like where I am today

And here is where I’ll stay.

Now one thing I just can’t endure

Is being broke and being poor.

So I come west to take the cure

And here is where I’ll stay.

 

 

Refrain

I’ve come to Califor-Nee-A, Califor-Nee-A.

There’s gold in them there hills in Califor-Nee-A.

I’ve come to live where life is best

In the Golden West.

I’m gonna strike it rich in Califor-Nee-A

Califor-Nee-A, Califor-Nee-A.

There’s gold in them there hills in Califor-Nee-A.”
