At some point we've all sung along to Scott Mackenzie's hippie anthem, "If You're Going to San Francisco," and to Tony Bennett's "I Left My Heart in San Francisco," but there are several tunes that pay tribute to our Paris of the West.
Take a listen and learn the lyrics to these other songs about SF. And go ahead, sing along!
"I'm Always Drunk in San Francisco," Carmen McRae, 1967
I'm always drunk in San Francisco
I always stay out of my mind
But if you've been to San Francisco
They say that things like this
Go on all the time
It never happens nowhere else
Maybe it's the air
Can't ever seem to help myself
And what's more I don't care
I'm always drunk in San Francisco
I'm never feeling any pain
But tell me why does San Francisco
Like a lover's kiss go straight to my brain
I guess it's just the mood I'm in
That acts like alcohol
