George Gershwin — Barbary Coast

(Verse) If you ask me what place Is the hottest hot place Anywhere around Anywhere around Step up to the wicket Get yourself a ticket San Francisco bound I said Frisco bound Let me take you to a place Where hummingbirds sing bass (Chorus) Oh, the minute that you strike it You've got to like it The Barbary Coast Where baa baa black sheep baa baa baa the most If you like your music red-hot Yes sir, I said hot You'd better run down To hunky dory honky tonky town Don't talk of other places Brother, if you don't mind This is the one oasis It's heaven and hell combined Everything is open wide there Don't need a guide there The devil's your host At the bar-bar-barbarous Bar-bar-Barbary Coast
