I never will forget Jeanette MacDonald:
|
Just to think of her, it gives my heart a pang
|
I never will forget how that brave Jeanette
|
Just stood there in the ruins and sang, and sang:
|
|
San Francisco, open your golden gate
|
You'll let nobody wait outside your door
|
San Francisco, here comes your wandering one
|
Saying, "I'll wander no more"
|
|
Other places only make me love you best
|
Say that you're the one in all the Golden West
|
San Francisco, here comes your wandering one
|
Never to roam again, never to roam again
|
|
San Francisco
|
Right when I arrive, I really come alive
|
And you will laugh to see me perpendicular, hanging on a cable car
|
|
San Francisco
|
Let me beat my feet up and down Market Street
|
I'm gonna climb Nob Hill, just to watch it get dark from the top of the mark
|
|
There's Brooklyn Bridge, London Bridge and the Bridge of San Luis Rey
|
But the only bridge that's a real 'gone bridge, is the bridge across the bay
|
|
San Francisco, I'm coming home again
|
Never to roam again, by god
|
San Francisco, I don't mean Frisco
|
San Francisco, here I come!
|
