The song tells the story of an encounter between the narrator and a female masseuse. When the narrator says she is from San Francisco, the masseuse says she'd like to go to the city and "meet some people there."

In addition to the phrase "meet some people there," the lyrics also contain the phrase "flowers in my hair"[1] in homage to the 1967 Scott McKensie record San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair).

The video of the song was directed by actress-comedian Margaret Cho. In addition to Cho, several figures from San Francisco's literary and alt-sex demimonde appear in the video, including writers Stephen Elliott, Violet Blue, and drag queen Monistat.[2] The video features scenes from around the city, including the Gay Pride flag that flies at Harvey Milk Plaza and the Armory building.
