Gentle people with flowers in their hair 

All across the nation, such a strange vibration

People in motion, people in motion 

For those who come to San Francisco 

Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair 

If you come to San Francisco 

Summertime will be a love-in there 

If you come to San Francisco 

Summertime will be a love-in there
