California, Here I Come

My grandmother used to sing California, Here I Come (or some version of it). Every winter she and my grandfather would leave cold/snowy Indiana and go to someplace warm. Mostly to Florida, but sometimes to California. She preferred California.

I just found the lyrics online and only the four lines below match what my Grandmother would sing. Never heard the other lines or stanzas.

California, here I Come
Right back where I started from
. . .
open up that golden gate
California, Here I Come

Why am I looking for the words to this song? Well we are packing for our Christmas trip to CALIFORNIA. Was planning on sun and warm weather - of course they are having flash floods and cold weather - but hey, it's California.
