George Gershwin - Barbary Coast lyrics

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

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
