Flower Drum Song movie - Grant Avenue lyrics

rate me

<br>

A western street with eastern manners,<br>

Tall pagodas and golden banners<br>

Throw their shadows through the lantern glow.<br>

<br>

You can shop for precious jade<br>

or teakwood tables or silk brocade<br>

Or see a bold and brassy night club show,<br>

On the most exciting thoroughfare I know.<br>

<br>

We call it<br>

Grant Avenue, San Francisco, <br>

California, U.S.A.<br>

Looks down from Chinatown <br>

Over a foggy bay.<br>

<br>

You travel there in a trolley,<br>

In a trolley up you climb,<br>

Dong! Dong! You're in Hong Kong,<br>

Having yourself a time.<br>

<br>

You can eat, if you are in the mood,<br>

Shark-fin soup, bean cake fish.<br>

The girl who serves you all your food<br>

Is another tasty dish!<br>

<br>

You know you<br>

Can't have a new way of living<br>

Till you're living all the way <br>

On Grant Avenue. --Where is that?--<br>

San Francisco, That's where's that!<br>

California U.S.A.<br>
