Barbary Coast 1920 'Girl Crazy'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 08 Feb 2005

[Patsy:] 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 Franscisco bound!
I said Frisco bound!
Let me take you to a place
where humming birds sing bass!

[All:] Oh, the minute that you strike it
you've got to like it:
The Barbary Coast,
where baabaa, 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 hunkydory honkytonky 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 barbarbarbarous
BarBarBarbary Coast!
