Part 1
Let's go to San Francisco
Where the flowers grow
So very high

Sunshine in San Francisco
Makes your mind grow
Up to the sky

Lots of sunny people
Walking hand in hand
They're the lucky people
They have found their land

Let's go to San Francisco
Let the wind blow
Right through your hair
Go down to San Francisco
See the night full of people there

Let's go to San Francisco
Where the flowers grow
So very high

Sunshine in San Francisco
Makes your mind grow
Up to the sky

It's the summer in Frisco
(Repeat & Fade)

 

Part 2
Sunny San Francisco
Sunny San Francisco
Everywhere flowers
Everywhere flowers
In the California sun
In the California sun
Sun, sun, sun

Let’s go to San Francisco
Where the flowers grow
So very high
Sunshine in San Francisco
Makes your mind grow
Up to the sky

I want to go
I want to go
I want to go

 

Part 3
From the album: 'The Flowerpot Men';
Let's Go To San Francisco' Originally released: 1988

Let's go back to San Francisco
Where the flowers grew
So high

We'll see
Sunny San Francisco
'Neath the California sky

Will the people still be wearing flowers
Will we see them walking hand in hand
I remember all those happy hours
Gotto go, gotta go
Back to San Francisco

Let's go back to San Francisco
Do the things we used to do
We'll go back to San Francisco
To the love that we once knew
