WHEN I WAS BORN IN 1949

NOTHING OF THE THINGS, THAT YOU, WERE MINE

WE WERE POOR AMONG THE PEERS.

IT WAS THAT FOR MANY YEARS

WE WERE BEGGARS ON THE ROAD

SINCE I MOVED FROM THAT FOLD



[chorus]

TO SAN FRANCISCO, OH OH

JUST ONE NIGHT IN SAN FRANCISCO .. DANCE (x4)



I WALKED AROUND THE BLOCKS

WITH MY TORN BORED SOCKS

THEY WERE PLAYING ON THE DOCK

IT WAS A PIECE OF RAP ROCK



IT TURNED ON A LIGHT

IT CHANGED ALL MY LIFE

LIKE A BLADE OF A KNIFE

I DANCED ALL THE NIGHT



[chorus]

TO SAN FRANCISCO, OH OH

JUST ONE NIGHT IN SAN FRANCISCO .. DANCE (x4)



DANCE NOW IS MY JOB

I SHAKE, JUMP, ROUND AND BOB

I FOUND OUT RAP ROCK

THE FIRST NIGHT ON THE DOCK

NOW I'M RICH

I GOT A HOUSE ON THE BEACH

I CAN SEE, BEHOND THE RIDGE,

THE MOST FAMOUS RED BRIDGE



[chorus]

LOOKING FROM THE DOCK OF THE BAY



NOW YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN

WHEN I CALL MY WIFW "QUEEN"

AND MY CHILDREN ARE SO GLAD

THEY DON'T KNOW IT WAS SO BAD

AND, EVEN IF, I'M SO RICH

AND GET TAN ON THE BEACH

I REMEMBER ALL THE TIMES

THE WORST PERIOD OF MY LIFE



[chorus]

LOOKING FROM THE DOCK OF THE BAY

JUST ONE NIGHT IN SAN FRANCISCO .. DANCE (x4)
