It's great to be in San Francisco

If you’re going to San Francisco,
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair.
If you’re goin’ to San Francisco,
You’re gonna meet some gentle people there.

For those who come to San Francisco,
Summertime will be a love-in there.
In the streets of San Francisco,
Gentle people with flowers in their hair.

All across the nation,
Such a strong vibration: People in motion.
There’s a whole generation,
With a new explanation, People in motion, People in motion.

If you come to San Francisco,
Summertime will be a love-in there.

SAN FRANCISCO by John Phillips 1967

It only takes a tiny corner of
This great big world to make a place you love.
My home upon the hill
I find I love you still.
I’ve been away, but now I’m back to tell you:

San Francisco, open your golden gate
You let no stranger wait outside your door.
San Francisco, here is your wandering one
Saying ” I’ll wander no more. ”
Other places only make me love you best
Tell me you’re the heart of all the golden west.
San Francisco, welcome me home again
I’m coming home to go roaming no more.

SAN FRANCISCO By Gus Kahn 1936
