Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

All across the nation, such a strange vibration

People in motion

There's a whole generation with a new explanation

People in motion

People in motion

[Verse 4]

For those who come to San Francisco

Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair

If you come to San Francisco

Summertime will be a love-in there

[Verse 5]

If you come to San Francisco

Summertime will be a love-in there
