The actual song is "California, here I come, right back where I started from...". I believe it was made in the 20's or 30's.
Edited to add:
"California, Here I Come" was written in 1924 by Bud De Sylva and Joseph Meyer. Al Jolson, who recorded the song, is also listed as a co-author, but most likely did not have any part in writing the song.
It was popularly used in Warner Bros. cartoons, typically in an instrumental version, whenever a character was going somewhere in a hurry. The classic example would be in Hair-Raising Hare. When the mad scientist (a Peter Lorre caricature) introduces Bugs Bunny to his monster (later dubbed "Gossamer"), Bugsy beats a hasty retreat, in cadence with the song's chorus. On his way out, he tells the scientist, "And don't think it hasn't been a little slice of heaven... 'cause it hasn't!"
