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

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

All across the nation,
Such a strange vibration
People in motion.
There's a whole generation
With a new explanation
People in motion, people in motion.

All those who come, to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a-loving there.

Standin' at the station
Wring my hands and moan
I had to leave that woman
( ? ) alone

You know she left me
Yes she left me
My baby gone an' left me
Never said a word

Standin' by my window
Hear my whistle blow
I had to leave that woman
( ? )

On the window of your ready little scene,
I'm looking in your eyes.
One day soon you're gonna reach sixteen,
Ain't a lady in the city of lights.

Do you know my name?
Do I look the same?
You know I'm the one you want,
I must be the one you need.

Reflections baby from your teenage dream,
In the lobby of a hotel cafe dive.
Through the circus of the L. A. queens,
I passed you round went right on by.

How you play the game,
Still don't know your name.
You know I'm the one you want,
Yes I'd love to be the one you need.

Lips like cherries on the frown of a queen,
Come on flash it right in my eyes.
Said you dug me since you were thirteen,
Then you giggle as you hurt inside.

Do you know my name?
Do I look the same?
I got to tell you I'm the one you want,
And everybody knows I'm the one you need.

Hours hours and the moments in between,
Oh baby I could count the times.
I've thought of coming on a plane and leaving,
Baby dry those silver eyes.

Do you know my name?
Do I look the same?
You know I'm the one you want,
I'm the one you need.

Working seven to eleven every night,
It really makes my life a drag.
I don't think that's right.
I've really been the best of fools,
I did what I could.
Beause I love you baby.
But baby, since I've been loving you,
I'm about to lose my worried mind.

Everybody trying to tell me,
That you didn't mean me no good.
I've been trying let me tell you,
Let me tell you I really did the best I could.
I've been working seven to eleven every night,
It kinda makes my life a drag.
Lord you know it ain't right.
Since I've been loving you,
I'm about to lose my worried mind.

Said I've been crying,
My tears they fell like rain.
Don't you hear,
Don't you hear them falling?
Don't you hear,
Don't you hear them falling?

Do you remember mama when I knocked upon your door?
I said you had the nerve to tell me you didn't want me no more.
I open my front door hearing my back door slam.
You must have one of them new fangled,
New fangled back door man.

I've been working from seven to eleven every night,
It kinda makes my life a drag.
Since I've been loving you,
I'm about to lose my worried mind.

Uh-Look-ah there
There she comes
Here comes that girl again
Wanted to date her since I don't know when But she don't notice me
when I pass
She goes with older guys from out of my class
But that can't stop me from-ah thinkin' to myself She's sure fine
lookin' man
She's somethin' else

Hey look-ah there
Across the street
There's a car made just for me
To own that car would be a luxury
But right now I can't afford the gas
A brand new convertible is out of my class
But that can't stop me from-ah thinkin' to myself That car's fine
lookin' man
It's somethin' else

Hey look-ah here
Just wait and see
Workin' hard and savin' my dough
I'll by that car that I've be wanting so Get me that girl and we'll go
ridin' around
The town will be all shocked with my white top down
I'll keep right on and dreamin' and-ah thinkin' to myself When it all
comes true, man
Wow! That's somethin' else

Look-ah here
What's all this?
Never thought I'd do this before
But here I am ah-knockin' on her door My car's out front and it's all
mine Just a '41 Ford not a '59
I got that girl and I'm-ah thinkin' to myself She's sure fine lookin'
man
Wow! She's somethin else

I had a dream --
Crazy dream.
Anything I wanted to know,
Any place I needed to go.

Hear my song --
Sing along.
Any little song that you know,
Everything that's small has to grow.

California sunlight,
Sweet Calcutta rain,
Honolulu starbright --
The song remains the same.

Sing out Hare Hare,
Dance the Hoochie Koo.
City lights are,
Oh so bright,
As we go sliding sliding sliding through.

Baby when you walk that sweet walk,
You walk it good.
Yes you walk it good.
Baby when you talk that sweet talk,
Oh it sounds so good.

With a little bit of concentration,
And a little bit of hold my hand,
And a little bit of raving madness,
You know it makes me feel,
Both my feet are back on the ground.

And when the rythm takes me,
It feels so good,
Oh so good.
Maybe if it keeps a-shaking,
It will do you good.

With a little bit of stop-a-shaking,
And a little bit of fly right down,
And a little bit of sweet con carne,
It makes me feel,
I got my feet on the ground.

Now baby when you move it makes me,
Really feel so good,
Oh so good.
And I'm so glad,
And I'm good.

With a little bit of concentration,
And a little bit of helping hand,
And a little bit of saving madness,
You know it makes me feel,
I'm back on the ground.

There's a lady who's sure,
All that glitters is gold,
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows,
If the stores are all closed,
With a word she can get what she came for.
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.

There's a sign on the wall,
But she wants to be sure,
Because you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook,
There's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
It makes me wonder.

There's a feeling I get,
When I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen,
Rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who stand looking.
It makes me wonder.

And it's whispered that soon,
If we all call the tune,
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn,
For those who stand long,
And the forests will echo with laughter.

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow,
Don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
Yes there are two paths you can go by,
But in the long run,
There's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me wonder.

Your head is humming and it won't go,
In case you don't know,
The piper's calling you to join him.
Dear lady can you hear the wind blow,
And did you know,
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.

And as we wind on down the road,
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know,
Who shines white light and wants to show.
How everything still turns to gold,
And if you listen very hard,
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all.
To be a rock and not to roll.

And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
