My City by the Bay

I'm going to laugh the world a million tears
Create myself a serpentine river
Going from New York City to San Francisco

I'll build a boat out of popsicle sticks
Save two and row, row, row my boat
Row my boat to my city by the bay

'Cause I want to be where people dream
While watching tiger lilies dance with daisies
As the sun capriciously chases the moon

On happy days when I part clouds in the sky
I'll jump up and kiss the lemon yellow sun
I'll jump so high doves will be passing me by

I'll jaywalk across rainbows to reach my dreams
Moonwalk over night to catch falling stars
Swim under bridges through magical waters

I'm going to go where wishers climb beanstalks
Carrying dreams in their right hands
Holding onto hope with their left

Even if it takes until all the unicorns come home
I'm going to build me a boat and row, row, row my boat
Row my boat to my beautiful city by the bay

Where the lovers live
Where the dreamers dream
Where the livers love

Where my wunderkin live as free as comets
With butterflies in their peaceful hair
Bodies floating on wine minds dancing on air
