Beautiful People

It's nice to be tall in San Francisco
I would hate to be small in San Francisco
I hope you're having a ball in San Francisco

I like to go to the mall in San Francisco
I thought I'd wear my shawl in San Francisco
Make sure you wear some flowers in your hair
In San Francisco
When you're tripping through the Castro
I'll see you there
In San Francisco
Hurry, don't scurry, don't worry
Sit down, take your time, I don't care

We're all in it together
No matter what the weather
Tonight, San Francisco
San Francisco
Ooh

Ooh

Ooh

Beautiful people
You live in the same world as I do
But somehow I never noticed you before today
I'm ashamed to say

Beautiful people
We share the same back door
And it isn't right we never met before
But then

We may never meet again
If I weren't afraid you'd laugh at me
I would run and take all your hands
I'd gather everyone together for a day
And when we're gathered I'd pass buttons out that say
"Beautiful people"
Then you'd never have to be alone
'Cause there would always be someone
With the same button on as you
Include him in everything you do

Beautiful people
You ride the same subway as I do
Every morning
That's got to tell you something
We have so much in common
I go the same direction as you do

So if you take care of me
Maybe I'll take care of you

Beautiful people
Here we are together for one night
Beautiful people
Here in San Francisco it's always groovy, cool and out of sight
Wear some flowers in your hair
Follow me everywhere
San Francisco

You're beautiful, can't you see
Tonight at the Castro
I like being tall
I don't wanna be small
Will somebody please hand me Stevie Nicks' shawl
At the age of seventeen
San Francisco

Don't be bitchy, don't give me attitude
I'm from New York City
San Francisco

You're beautiful, can't you see
Tonight at the Castro
I like being tall
I don't wanna be small
Will somebody please hand me Stevie Nicks' shawl
At the age of seventeen
San Francisco

Don't be bitchy, don't give me attitude
I'm from New York City
San Francisco
You're beautiful, can't you see
Tonight at the Castro

San Francisco, tonight
We're gonna be so groovy and out of sight, hey
Tryin' to bring a little bit of grooviness to the stage
I wish I had a little bit of sage to burn
But you have so much to learn
And I'm here to teach and reach
I hope you don't turn your backs on me
Like you always tend to do
It'll make me blue

California, I'm comin' home tonight

Ooh, California, you'll see me on that late night groovy flight
Make sure you wear
Some hot flowers in your hair, if you dare
Will you share?
Ooh, I'll find you everywhere
And now tonight, San Francisco
Hey, hey, hey
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, San Francisco
Ooh, yeah, ow, ooh, ow, ow
