(Spoken:)
This following program is dedicated to the city and people of San
Francisco
Who may not know it, but they are beautiful — and so is their city
This is a very personal song, so if the viewer cannot understand it —
Particularly those of you who are European residents — save up
All your bread and fly Trans-Love Airways to San Francisco, USA
Then maybe you’ll understand the song
It will be worth it — if not for the sake of this song
But for the sake of your own peace of mind
Bass:

Verse 3:
Cop’s face is filled with haight
Heavens above, he’s on a street called Love
When will they ever learn
Old cop, young cop feel all right
On a warm San Franciscan Night
Bridge 2:
The children are cool
They don’t raise fools
It’s an American dream
Includes Indians, too
