Red Rose Café
They come from the farms and the factories too
And they all soon forget who they are.
The cares of the day are soon washed away
As they sit at a stool by the bar.
The girl with green eyes in the Rolling Stones shirt
Doesn't look like she works on the land.
The man at the end, he's a very good friend
Of a man who sells cars second hand.
Chorus (after each verse):
Down at the Red Rose Cafe in the Harbour
There by the port just outside Amsterdam.
Everyone shares in the songs and the laughter.
Everyone there is so happy to be there.
The salesmen relax with a few pints of beer
And they try not to speak about trade.
The poet won't write any verses tonight
But he may sing a sweet serenade.
The grey-haired old man, the piano will play
Any song you're wanting to hear
And the pretty young thing doesn't know to sing
But the customers give her a cheer.
Outside in the real world the rage is still on
It's all gone a little bit mad
Now in circles we go so it's good to know
Of a place where good times can be had.
So pull up a chair and forget about life.
It's a good thing to do now and then
And if you like it here I have an idea
Tomorrow let's all meet again.

What is the drummer doing. Weird beat

Was just thinking that .. a simple Waltz beat would have sufficed. Destroyed the song lol
