[Verse 1] I’m folding up my sequins And I’m tying off my hem I’ve had my fill of glitter Now I’m off to start again I’m calling for a taxi With a grin and all my nerve If I’m leaving this old ballroom I’m leaving with my curves [Pre-Chorus] Pack it up, sweetheart I’m done with the scene I want a town with roses And a little less drama queen [Chorus] Pasadena, Pasadena Where the palms keep their posture fine Pasadena, Pasadena Got the roses, got the sun, got the right kind of shine Pasadena, Pasadena Where the air says “darling, stay” Pasadena, Pasadena I’m packing up and moving away [Verse 2] I want a little bungalow With a bow on every door A china shop of charm And a lovely little floor I want cable cars to nowhere And a lunch at twenty-three I want mountains in the morning And a wink from destiny [Pre-Chorus] Bless my heels and bless my plan I’m done with every frown I want a town that knows my name And lets me wear it crown to crown [Chorus] Pasadena, Pasadena Where the palms keep their posture fine Pasadena, Pasadena Got the roses, got the sun, got the right kind of shine Pasadena, Pasadena Where the air says “darling, stay” Pasadena, Pasadena I’m packing up and moving away [Bridge] Give me old brick mansions Give me a martini dry Give me gallery openings And a boy with a naughty eye I’ll take the parade route I’ll take the pretty view If the world wants fabulous Well, Pasadena, that’s you [Chorus] Pasadena, Pasadena Where the palms keep their posture fine Pasadena, Pasadena Got the roses, got the sun, got the right kind of shine Pasadena, Pasadena Where the air says “darling, stay” Pasadena, Pasadena I’m packing up and moving away
