Possibly the original California Dreamin' in more ways than one.

IN THE LAND OF THE BUNGALOW
(© 1929 Geo. F. Devereaux)

I just got off the Sunset Train
I'm from the Angel Town
The Golden West Los Angeles
Where the sun-shines all year round
I left a girlie back there
She's the sweetest girl I know
She said "Good-bye" I'll wait for you
In the Land of the Bungalow.

Chorus:
In the Land of the Bungalow
Away from the ice and snow
Away from the cold
To the Land of Gold
Away where the poppies grow
Away to the setting sun
To the home of the orange blossom
To the land of fruit and honey
Where it doesn't take much money
To own a little Bungalow.

I just can't keep my tho'ts away
From California's shore
The land of flow'rs and winter show'rs
How I miss you more and more
As soon as I can get away
I know where I will go
Back to the girl I love the best
In the Land of the Bungalow.

Wesley, I don't know if anyone sings it anymore. I have the sheet music if you would like me to email it to you.

Don't want to sing it but, how do you do the Bugalow??The dance that's sweeping the nation.

It's sod's law..... If you are going to do a typo, you will always do it in the thread title. *smiles*

Thanks for pointing it out Shambles, ain't that the truth. I must have really been having an aged P moment, I didn't even notice the error when I replied to Wesley. Now I don't know if he was being sincere or just pulling my leg.
