Going to San Francisco Again

“What, again? Bumba, what the whatchamacallit is the matter with you? Didn’t you do that song already and post it on the blog like more times than I care to remember?”

“Yeah, so what?

“Like go look at the SEARCH option on the lower right side of the screen. You put in going to San Francisco or folk music or anything like that and see what comes up.”

“That’s right, you get this song a million times. So what?”

“Well, doesn’t such lazy repetition lower your own standard of journalistic, literary, and artistic excellence for this Bumbastories blog of yours???”

“The whaaat standard for whaaaat blog???”

Such are the conversations Bumba’s been having with himself. Anyhow here’s the song Going to San Francisco

Going Back to San Francisco

Here’s a song with a simple progression, which has been done before but I forget by who. Van Morrison? Leonard Skinnard? It’s just a fun progression to play on the guitar. It’s in A, going to the E, then to D for two measures, and back to the A……. Who did you say? No, it wasn’t the Who. What? …. No, he’s on second…..The lyrics are quite simple too.

In any case and all the same,  I – like everyone else – am hoping that someone else will sing them instead of me.

So I invite all the musicians and singers out there to sing this song…

Goin’ back to San Francisco/Gonna have some fun/ I’m goin’ on down to San Francisco/ When my day be done.

When we got back from San Francisco /Everything was gone/Our village was deserted/ couldn’t find no one

Then I saw ol’ Mulie/Over by the shed/I listened to ol’ Mulie/These are the words he said

He said I’m going down to San Francisco/ Gonna have some fun/Goin’ on back to San Francisco/ My song’s been sung

Goin’ on back to San Francisco/Goin…….. San Francisco here I come….
