Last year about this time
The band went to San Francisco
We had a concert on a street called Polk Street
It was a most beautiful happening
The vibes were good
The women were there
Everybody was bibing
We'd now like to share this with you
With a thing called Polk Street Carnival
Eh heh as a matter of fact strike up the band ooh
Early in San Francisco touring with the band
Playing big rock concert Polk Street Carnival
All the good vibrations make the music sweet
People young and happy dancing in the street
One woman was bumping all over the place
She had a real familiar look about she face
And when she wine the closer gates open and shut
She had to be a descendant of Bertha Butt
And hear she bawling
Polk Polk Street carnival. Polk Street what a baccanal
Sing in on louder
Polk Polk Street carnival. Polk Street what a baccanal
Yes man
What a big confusion one man raisin Kane
King of the Gypsy Wizard Daniel was his name
The man head on fire Paint he face in all
Colours of the rainbow, Peace and love he bawl
Well now it's rain rain rain everybody wet
It was a day in history we just couldn't forget
And as the entertainer we just had a ball man
You know the sun jumped down in the carnival
And what we singing
Polk Polk Street carnival, Polk Street what a baccanal
Pick it up pick it up
Polk Polk Street carnival, Polk Street what a baccanal
Polk Polk Street carnival, Polk Street what a baccanal
Polk Polk Street carnival, Polk Street what a baccanal
Polk Polk Street carnival, Polk Street what a baccanal
Polk Polk Street carnival, Polk Street what a baccanal
Polk Polk Street carnival, Polk Street what a baccanal
Polk Polk Street carnival, Polk Street what a baccanal
Polk Polk Street carnival, Polk Street what a baccanal
Polk Polk Street carnival, Polk Street what a baccanal
