The Lyrics
In 2024, authorities at Plumas National Park in Northern California are banning the Rainbow Family Gathering hippie group's annual July 4th festivities, citing traffic, high winds and fire risk, among other reasons. Perhaps the John Phillips/Scott McKenzie classic needs updating this year?
If you're going to San Francisco
Be sure you're 'ware there's coppers everywhere
If you're going to San Francisco
You're gonna meet some angry drivers there
For those who come to San Francisco
Fireworks could start a fire there
Plumas sleeps in San Francisco
Gentle people with flowers in their hair
Lots of tribes and nations, July celebrations
Pine trees are blowin'
There's a whole generation with a risk of flammation
Hippies be smokin', hippies be tokin'
For those who come to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some Franklins in your pants
If you come to San Francisco
Slammer time will have a likely chance
If you come to San Francisco
Slammer time will be a likely 'fair
Be sure you're 'ware there's coppers everywhere
If you're going to San Francisco
You're gonna meet some angry drivers there
For those who come to San Francisco
Fireworks could start a fire there
Plumas sleeps in San Francisco
Gentle people with flowers in their hair
Lots of tribes and nations, July celebrations
Pine trees are blowin'
There's a whole generation with a risk of flammation
Hippies be smokin', hippies be tokin'
For those who come to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some Franklins in your pants
If you come to San Francisco
Slammer time will have a likely chance
If you come to San Francisco
Slammer time will be a likely 'fair
