As performed by the Coward Brothers, 1984-11-26, Paris.

If you're going to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
On the streets of San Francisco
You're gonna meet some gentle people there

All across the nation such a strange vibration
People in motion, people in motion
There's a whole generation with a new explanation
People in motion, people in the ocean

For those who come to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
On the streets of San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there.
