Do you realize that better
than a million people
cross the New York City bridges
every day?
The Triborough, the Williamsburg,
the Brooklyn Bridge,
and there's the great George Washington
to send them on their way!
Manhattan, Manhattan,
the Sooke and the Staten,
the UC on Park Avenue there,
the uptown, the downtown,
the running around town,
that all the citizens do there.
There is no denying it's exciting
But I know a town that's more inviting
There have been lots
of song s
written about San
Francis co
This is
not one of them,
nor do they go the way
that this go.
I'm not about to tell you of her hills,
or her cable cars,
or her many thrill s,
But instead I thought I
would take a chance
And brief you on how she stack
s up in romance
Went for a walk one day alone
down around the bay
I guess you could say that it was fate
How else could I have met my
love on the golden gate?
She strolled along the bridge
and she was the cutest pigeon,
gee, did you never pal
pitate?
Well, you'd have swooned
to see her there
on the Golden Gate
I looked into her eyes
and foggy skies were clear
Just when I thought love was here
What a switch along came the Cadillac,
it stopped
And she got him back, alas,
an d like she had a date
I finally found the love
I longed for too late
I had no golden, got the gate on the golden gate
I
But no such luck and now it's clear
I'm a goner now
Every day I stroll alone
Down around the bay,
I guess I'll simply chalk
it up to fate
An d that's what happens to you
when you don't rate
I had no gold and got the gate
on the Golden gate
I didn't have a penny
so I couldn't ask her out for any coffee
an d at the papagaya room
I'm telling this to you
so you may understand
that's what happens
when you don't write
I had no gold and got the gate
I'm a golden gate
