I used to love the tenderloin Until I made some tender coin And then I met some ladies from Marin
We took the highway to the one Up the coast to catch some sun That left me with these blisters on my skin
Don't know what I was on But I think it grows in Oregon So I kept on goin going on right through
I drove into Seattle rain Fell in love then missed the train That could have took me right back home to you
I've been high I've been low I've been yes and I've been oh hell no! I've been rock 'n roll and disco Won't you save me San Francisco?
Uuuhhh ooohh Uuuhhh ooohh
Every day so caffeinated I wish they were golden gated Fillmore couldn't feel more miles away
So wrap me up return to sender Let's forget this five year bender Take me to my city by the Bay!
I never knew all that I had Now Alcatraz don't sound so bad At least they have a hella fine Merleau
If I could wish upon a star I would hitch a cable car To the place that I can always call my own!
I've been high I've been low I've been yes and I've been oh hell no! I've been rock 'n roll and disco Won't you save me San Francisco?
I've been up I've been down, I've been so damn lost since you're not around I been reggae and calypso Won't you save me San Francisco?
To tell you the truth I miss everything, everything It's a wild, wild beautiful world But there's a wide eyed girl back there And she means everything, everything
I've been stop I've been go I've been yes and I've been oh, hell no! I've been rock 'n roll and disco, Won't you save me San Francisco?
I've been up I've been down I've been so damn lost since you're not around I've been reggae and calypso Won't you save me San Francisco?
Uuuhhh ooohh Uuuhhh (Save me San Francisco) ooohh Uuuhhh ooohh Won't you save me San Francisco
Uuuhhh ooohh Uuuhhh (Save me San Francisco) ooohh Uuuhhh ooohh Won't you save me San Francisco
