Polk Street Carnival |
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 |
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 |
