    "Do You Know the Way to San Jose" is a popular song by Burt Bacharach and Hal David.
    The 1968 version by Dionne Warwick on her album Dionne Warwick in Valley of the Dolls made it to
      10 on the U.S. Chart and
        8 on the UK Chart. The song earned Warwick a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Pop Female Vocal.

    The lyrics are about a woman who moved to Los Angeles to pursue fame and fortune, but plans to move back to San Jose, where she was born and raised.

    The song has been covered many times, including by The George Shearing Quintet, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, The Starlite Orchestra, The Avalanches, the Carpenters, and Stunt Monkey, a local San Jose punk band. Warwick herself recorded a new salsa version of the song in 1998 along with Celia Cruz and the Pete Escovedo Orchestra for her Dionne Sings Dionne album.
