Alexander's California

In the prairie dust-bowl days when he had bills to pay

A man named Alexander moved away

He went south to California (first time pronounced Californiay)

Chorus:

Prairie dust, California or bust

Signing cheques “In God we trust”

Means choosing California is a must

Back when California was another world away

Men like Alexander paved the way

When times are tough men like Alexander save the day

Walking out to step ahead is a risky thing to do

But California is the place where dreams come true

And Alexander dreamed enough for me and you,

Lives from rough cut dreams get hewn

On canvas skies hang paper moons

But everything in California blooms

Building movie sets and setting goals

Alexander went to Hollywood with (Mr.) Bowles

Saving pennies, saving dreams, saving souls

Three steps ahead of me

A real man on the family tree

He built the California that we see

Don't forget, life becomes the dream that you project

Baby you'll get to California yet

This is your own California set

For men like Alexander dreams come true

He dreamed up California,

In all my California dreaming I see you

You might hear the rush of the breaking sea,

But that's the voice of California calling me

California don't break hearts, she breaks em free

There are no shortcuts to this land

Every dream in California's built by hand

But we are all a part of Alexander's greatest plan

Get ready get set,

You'll get there yet

You'll be with me 

In Alexander's California by the sea.
