This early rendition of San Francisco by Scott McKenzie is a classic. The song did a lot to make the Summer of Love the cultural happening it was.

Lyrics Scott McKenzie, San Francisco.
Written by John Phillips (The Mamas & the Papas).
From the 1967 album The Voice of Scott McKenzie.

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

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

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

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

If you come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there
