California, Here I Come
Bud DeSylva, Joseph Meyer, and Al Jolson, 1924
"California, Here I Come" is so well-known in pop culture that it's surprising that it originally came from a musical. The star of the show was Al Jolson, later known as the first to star in a talking film, The Jazz Singer (1927.)

(Here it is with chords.)
California, here I come,
Right back where I started from.
Where bowers
of flowers
bloom in the sun.
Each morning
at dawning
birdies since and everything.
A sun-kissed miss says,
"Don't be late."
That's why I can hardly wait.
Open up that Golden Gate!
California, here I come!
