About Pasadena

"Home in Pasadena" is a song with music by Harry Warren and lyrics by Grant Clarke and Edgar Leslie. In the song, the singer, about to travel to Pasadena by Pullman Train, describes the attractions of his destination. It was published in 1923, early in Warren's songwriting career, a year after his first published song "Rose of the Rio Grande". In 1924 it was recorded by Paul Whiteman, by Billy Murray with Ed Smalle, and by Al Jolson. The British band The Temperance Seven recorded the song, with the title "Pasadena", in 1961. The Pasadena Roof Orchestra, a British band founded in 1969, was named after the song. more »

Oh you railway station!
Oh you Pullman Train!
There's my reservation
For my destination,
Far beyond the western plains
To see my home in Pasadena.
Home where grass is greener
Where honeybees
Hum melodies
And orange trees scent the breeze.
I'm gonna see a home-sweet-homer
And 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.

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.
