Come visit, Come visit.

You can bask in the rays and covet the warmth of Ocean Beach.

Cable Cars rumbling up the hills of California Street trying to preach,

The ringing bells echoing to and from, calling all aboard!

The Golden Gate Bridge red like a stop sign telling people to cease it implored.

San Francisco brings overwhelming happiness to live every day with a smile.

Like the sun shooting its warm kisses for a long while,

Like a hot pork bun filled with joy and love that fills your tummy,

Like a Grandma giving you Lai See for Lunar New Year filled with money,

Like the explosion of flavors when boba pops between your jaws,

Like the thundering of Chase Center as the crowd screams creating applause.

When you experience them, there is forever longing for San Francisco in your heart,

Where it hopes to see you never depart.

That is how I feel down to my core,

Now, do you want to explore?
