The Lyrics
Go west, you married gentlemen
There's nothing in your way
Remember that good companies
Are measured by their pay
And pay in California
Is as good as what they say
Good income breeds comfort and joy
While you're employed
Your income will bring comfort and joy
Go west, you married gentlemen
Your future will be sure
Your wife will learn to hate you
And your vows will not endure
And though you make more money
You'll be poorer than you were
Your income breeds comfort and joy
While you're employed
Yes, she will live in comfort and joy
There's nothing in your way
Remember that good companies
Are measured by their pay
And pay in California
Is as good as what they say
Good income breeds comfort and joy
While you're employed
Your income will bring comfort and joy
Go west, you married gentlemen
Your future will be sure
Your wife will learn to hate you
And your vows will not endure
And though you make more money
You'll be poorer than you were
Your income breeds comfort and joy
While you're employed
Yes, she will live in comfort and joy

You are correct that California pay is good, but wait until you see California real estate prices. Well done, Tim.
Last call for flight 555 on Parody AIRlines... :)
Thanks John and Ingeborg!
John, I am now an Ex-Californian due to the real estate prices...

I abstained from voting on this because of one glaring inaccuracy: can you say 'Proposition 8'?
