I'll take you back to nineteen sixty nine Let's hit the city of freedom, like old times It's getting dirty Underneath the blue sky Imagine you and me countin' the butterflies One, two, three Let's bring it on Keep on dancing in the streets of love French kissing on JFK drive Till we crash at the beach Where we watch the sun rise Tell me what you're waiting for We're crossing the golden gate Party at the Frisco bay Wake me up in San Francisco (When you got power in your head girl, party everywhere girl) Wake me up in San Francisco (Where the love is in the air, all the people stop and stare) Baby take me back to the city of love To the place that I've been dreaming of San Francisco Wake me up in San Francisco It's ten pm Getting ready for the night Wanna be a hippie when the city's getting high I'm cruising down Broadway, you on my side Pulling over my pink rover at the hungry eye One, two, three Let's bring it on DJ play my favorite beats All night long Poppin' some bottles, champagne, red wine And we both giddy up on the rooftop And watch the city lights Tell me what you waiting for We're crossing the golden gate Party at the Frisco bay Wake me up in San Francisco (When you got power in your head girl, party everywhere girl) Wake me up in San Francisco (Where the love is in the air, all the people stop and stare) Baby take me back to the city of love To the place that I've been dreaming of San Francisco Wake me up in San Francisco We're playing songs of life Like it's sixty nine We sing and dance, under the sun of San Francisco Stars shine so bright on the city tonight We're crossing the golden gate Party at the Frisco bay Wake me up in San Francisco (When you got power in your head girl, party everywhere girl) Wake me up in San Francisco (Where the love is in the air, all the people stop and stare) Baby take me back to the city of love To the place that I've been dreaming of San Francisco Wake me up in San Francisco C'mon take me back to the city of love To the place that I've been dreaming of So wake me up in San Francisco
