On 24th & Mission Street, there's all the people you could ever wanna meet
You could take the BART to a nicer part but the air wouldn't smell so sweet

Well there's Gwendolyn, she's got eyes of sin and she holds on to my guitar
And there's a man called Stan, he may not have a plan
But you know he's gonna take you far
Yeah you know he's gonna make you a star

On 24th and Mission Street there's all the people you could ever wanna meet
There's no need for you to go downtown, all you need is all around

Well there's a guy called Sue he'll show you what to do and he'll take you to heaven on the stairway
And that son of a gun just got a hole in one yeah he'll whip your ass on the fairway
Now that doesn't seem to me much like fair play

On 24th and Mission Street there's all the people you could ever wanna meet
You could take the BART to a nicer part but the air wouldn't smell so sweet

I hate to say it, but there is no better place than here
It hurts to say it, but there is no better place than here
Right here
There is no other place than here
Right here
There is no other place than here

On 24th and Mission Street there's all the people you could ever wanna meet
