Oh, I'm packing my grip and I'm leavin' today
'Cause I'm takin' a trip California way
I'm gonna settle down and never more roam
And make the San Fernando Valley my home
I'll for-get my sins, I'll be makin' new friends
Where the West begins and the sunset ends
'Cause I've decided where 'Yours truly' should be
And it's the Fernando Valley for me
I think that I'm safe in statin' she, he will be waitin'
When my lonely journey is done
And kindly old Reverend Thomas
Made us a promise, he will make the two of us on
So, I'm hittin' the trail to the cow country
You can forward my mail care of R.F.D
I'm gonna settle down and never more roam
And make the Fernando Valley my home
