At some point we've all sung along to Scott Mackenzie's hippie anthem, "If You're Going to San Francisco," and to Tony Bennett's "I Left My Heart in San Francisco," but there are several tunes that pay tribute to our Paris of the West.
Take a listen and learn the lyrics to these other songs about SF. And go ahead, sing along!
"Life in California (Used Up Man)," lyrics by David. G. Robinson, early 1850s
...When I got to San Francisco,
I saw such heaps of money
And the way the folks at monte played, I thought the game
quite funny…
I 'spose if I die, they'd take me to the Mission
Or else the city'd sell me to pay up my physician
