San Francisco - The Evilest City In The World by Anita Loos Lyrics
[Mrs. Burley]
They call this the wickedest city in the world and it's a bitter shame, it is. For deep down underneath all our evil and sin, we've got right here in San Francisco the finest set of human bein's that was ever rounded up on one spot. Sure, they had to have wild adventure in their hearts and dynamite in their blood to set out for here in the first place. That's why they're so full of untamed deviltry now!
But we can't go on like this. Sinful and blasphemous, with no fear for God in our hearts. That's the reason why I want my boy to have a good woman near him, and raise fine, beautiful kids for the glory of our heritage. You can make a fine man of him. And maybe one day, you'll be proud that you met up with the family of old Maisie Burley, the washerwoman.
