      (Spoken:)

      This following program is dedicated to the city and people of San
          Francisco
      Who may not know it, but they are beautiful - and so is their city
      This is a very personal song, so if the viewer cannot understand it -
          particularly those of you who are European residents - save up
          all your bread and fly Trans-Love Airways to San Francisco, USA
      Then maybe you'll understand the song
      It will be worth it - if not for the sake of this song
      But for the sake of your own peace of mind

Verse 1:

      C5              E5 A5           G5
      Strobe light's beam    creates dreams
      C5       E5 A5           G5 
        Walls move    minds do too
            D5             F5      C5
      On a warm San Franciscan night
       C5          D5           F5         C5
      Old child, young child, feel all right
            D5            F5       C5
      On a warm San Franciscan night

Verse 2:

      Angels sing, leather wings
      Jeans of blue, Harley-Davidsons too
      On a warm San Franciscan night
      Old angels, young angels feel all right
      On a warm San Franciscan night
      
Bridge:

      F5
         I wasn't born there

Bridge 2:
