Lyrics
Sunny Side Cafe
smack dab in the heart of town
if you go down, there's this little coffee shop
blink and you'll miss it, but if you got a minute
there's something 'bout this place you just gotta stop
it ain't no bistro, ain't got no fancy cuisine
no mocha lattes, got no espresso machine
a few ol' gals with their table in the corner
don't need to order, they just come for a laugh
lunch-breakin' joe wisecrackin' with the waitress
congratulates a new dad, baby on his lap
there ain't no logo, there ain't no national chain
got no commercials, no advertising campaign
but if you're longing for an easier pace
where you can touch base
before you go out on your way
meet me at the sunny side café
meet me at the sunny side café
when life hits you like a mirror in the morning
beneath the scornful glare of fluorescent light
shake it off, take a walk, do something for me
meet me where its clearer, where the lights aren't so bright
it ain't no bistro, ain't got no fancy cuisine
no mocha lattes, got no espresso machine
but if you're searching for a piece of the past
cause life goes by too fast...
before you go out on your way
meet me at the sunny side café
meet me at the sunny side café
meet me at the sunny side café
