There's a nice YouTube video here (click)
The YouTube video post has these lyrics:
HOME IN PASADENA by Al Jolson (Leslie/Clarke/Warren)
Home in Pasadena,
Home where grass is greener;
Where honey bees hum melodies
And orange trees scent the breeze.
I wanna be a Home-Sweet-Homer,
And there I'll settle down;
Beneath the palms,
In someone's arms,
In Pasadena, Pasadena town.
[The Bill Irwin (non-Jolson?) part.]
Gonna be an aggregation
Waitin' for me at the station
Pasadena town, Pasadena town
Oh, I want to be a roamer
Now with time to think it over
I want to settle down
Yes, I want to settle down
Oh, honey bees
Little bumblebees
Oh, mellow syncopated melodies
I know ????? [orange?] trees are softly swinging
While birds are sweetly singing in the breeze
I want to be a happy Home-Sweet-Homer
Never want to be a roamer
Pasadena town, Pasadena town
There away from all the worries
Of the city's hurry scurries
Every evening when the sun goes down
Beneath the ????? [... palm trees?]
Someone's captivatin' fascinatin' arms of...
[The Actor runs out of breath.]
