ONLY IN SAN FRANCISCO

ONLY IN SAN FRANCISCO

“Only in San Francisco”, they say of my hometown
Some say it with a knowing smile, but others with a frown
Only in San Francisco, can peculiar sights be seen
If you’re in the Castro on the night of Halloween
Only in San Francisco, where some girls are six feet tall
But if you take a closer look, you’ll see they aren’t girls at all
Only in San Francisco, in a race called Bay to Breakers
Some run dressed as centipedes, but others just wear sneakers
Only in San Francisco, George Bush will rarely tread
It’s just because he’s so hated here, that’s what the paper said
Only in San Francisco, at the LGBT Center, so they say
There’s actually is a place that is called The Three Dollar Bill Café
“Only in San Francisco”, some groan and shake their heads in pity
They simply do not know that’s why, we’re everyone’s favorite city
