I found Al Jolson's version of this song at one of those lyrics sites, www.lyricsmania.com/pasadena_lyrics_al_jolson.html

HOME IN PASADENA
Words, Edgar Leslie & Grant Clarke. Music, Harry Warren.

Oh you railway station!
Oh you Pullman Train!
Here's my reservation
For my destination,
Far beyond the western plain.
To see my home in Pasadena.
Home where grass is greener
Where honeybees
Hum melodies
And orange trees scent the breeze.
I want to be a home-sweet-homer
There I'll settle down
Beneath the palms
In someone's arms
In Pasadena town.

Where honeybees hum melodies
And orange trees scent the breeze.

Beneath the palms
In someone's arms
In Pasadena town.

(whistling)

Home home home home in Pasadena,
Home home home home where grass is greener.
Where the little bees, they hum melodies,
And orange trees scent the breeze.
I'm gonna be a home-sweet-homer
And right there I'll settle down
Beneath the palms
In someone's arms
In Pasadena town.



There are interesting renditions of this song by the vocal groups Finest Kind and Motherlode.
