(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
