Burbank’s Official Song: “In Burbank”

 

From the Burbank High School The Blue and White Wave High (2008)

 

 

“In Burbank” was an official song of the city. Written by Code Morgan, a Burbank High School graduate of 1925, the work also had music by Morgan in fox trot rhythm.

 

Way out west, I’ve built a nest,

In a spot that Nature surely blessed,

‘Tis the place I love the best,

Everywhere sunbeams rest,

In the Valley ‘neath the mountain crest.

I’ll never stray far away,

For there’s peace and rest both night and day,

Soft breezes sway,

Flowers by the way,

And even all the songbirds seem to say:

 

Chorus

 

In Burbank, In Burbank,

Way out in Burbank, California,

I want to warn you,

Don’t let your footsteps stray,

When you start to come this way,

For you will surely stay,

Until the Judgment Day.

 

In Burbank, In Burbank,

There’s no place on earth that could be fairer,

That’s no error.

There’s a happy throng,

Just ten thousands strong,

And in Burbank Town you can’t go wrong.
