 I love the verdure on them
 Of such shades and colors rare.
 The miles and miles of foothills,
 Such farms and orchards too:
 Oh! I love Pasadena.
 And ESQ would you''
 love the world famed roses
 Of every color you know;
 They cover every fence and wall,
 So riotously they grow. Their perfume fills these valleys -
 Come get whiff, please do;
 Oh! love Pasadena
 And ESQ would you."
 l love the bouggainvillea
 That climb up every wall,
 Runs o'er the roofs and chimneys
 It grows so rank and tall.
 love its mass of flowers
 Of reddish purple hue;
 Oh! love Pasadena
 And ESQ would you.'
 You can take dry goods box >
 And build little shack; Plant a bougainvillea-
 It will cover every crack.
 And make bower to live in,
 "Fit for a king''-me. too;
 Oh! love Pasadena,
 And ESQ would you."
 love the eucalyptus,
 love the pepper tree;
 love the charming mocking birds
 That always sing for me.
 love the feathery date palm,
 The magnolia love too;
 Oh! love Pasadena,
 And ESQ would you."
