Well, she gave me the big, "see ya' later"
And I don't think I will.
Cinco alli estoy, turn left at Gilroy,
And head up on 280.

I'm gonna stay high, lie low,
In San Francisco.

You see, I lived with an actress-to-be.
She was amazingly lifelike.
I spent a year in LA, it's hard to believe,
But I've been missing the turnpike.

I'm gonna stay high, lie low,
In San Francisco.
Down in the mission,
And up at half-moon bay,
And Franklin Hill.
I wonder if she's still down in the mission?

And so I heard the song of the "big seniorita".
The world it is falling, falling by degree.
Cinco alli estoy, turn left at Gilroy,
And head up on 280.

I'm gonna stay high, lie low,
In San Francisco.
I'm gonna stay high, stay high, stay high.
San Francisco.
Down in the mission,
And up at half-moon bay,
And Franklin Hill.
I wonder if she's still down in the mission?

I'm down in the mission.
