well I took a train to see a bullfrog
and a brand new San Franciscan
cause I knew my baby
she went over there today
and she took my brain with her
when she left to become one of those
brand new San Franciscan kind of ladies
so what you gonna do when you see a mule
standing right there on the side of the road
watch you gonna do if you see the yuletide
coming in the got dang center of June
nobody knows except for the bullfrogs
oh yeah and maybe my baby
well let me tell you this
the crickets will chirp in the wintertime
if they are around a fireplace
no the logs won't crackle
no they really won't crackle
if they're left outside in a mother fucking rainstorm
come on and check out me
because I've got a little tic toc tic toc tic toc tic to me
because I know just when to scream
because my baby left with my brain
to become a brand new San Franciscan
giddy up I say to the pick up truck in front of me
giddy up man you better giddy up man
he's moving all sorts of rocks in my way
giddy up I say to the pick up truck in front of me
he turns around and says "guess what?
San Francisco ain't this way!"
I say you better giddy up you pick up truck
I am on my way to San Francisco
gonna see a bullfrog
gonna see a yuletide
maybe even see a mule
you better giddy up you pick up truck
I am on my way to San Francisco
gonna see a bullfrog
gonna see a yuletide
maybe even a mule
maybe my baby too
maybe she kept my brain
maybe she kept it cool
maybe it's preserved
maybe I can use it again
maybe I wouldn't have used it again anyway
