San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Some Flowers in Your Hair)


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

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 there's a strange vibration
People in motion
There's a whole generation with a new explanation
People in motion people in motion

Yes I'm going to San Francisco
I'll be sure to wear some flowers in my hair
Yes I'm going to San Francisco
Cause summertime will be a love-in there
