Caldonia (What Makes Your Big Head So Hard?)
Walkin' with my baby she's got great big feet.

Crazy 'bout that woman 'cause Caldonia is her name.

California Here I Come
California here I come,
Right back where I started from,
Where bowers of flowers bloom in the sun,
Each morning at dawning
Birdies sing an' ev'rything:
A sun-kiss'd miss said, "don't be late,"
That's why I can hardly wait,
Open up that golden gate,
California here I come!

Fish got to swim and birds got to fly,

Can't Help Singing
Can't help singing of a promise that April is bringing,
I am floating along on the crest of a song,
There are bells in my heart and they're ringing.
Can't help crowing,
Folks don't like it, I know, but I'm glowing:
I can't help what they say,
Spring affects me this way,
And I gotta keep singing all day.
Words by E.Y. Harburg, music by Jerome Kern, 1944

Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the morning.
