Lyrics Working Man's Café - Ray Davies
Looking
for
the
working
man's
café
In
the
shopping
center
of
the
town
Looking
for
somewhere
to
fit
in
In
among
the
retail
outlets
Bought
a
pair
of
new
designer
pants
Where
the
fruit
and
veg
man
used
to
stand
I
always
used
to
see
him
there
Selling
old
apples
and
pears
Chatting
up
the
pretty
girls
With
knocked
off
goods
in
the
van
Don't
you
know
he
was
a
working
man
Long
ago
he
was
a
working
man
And
we
sat
in
the
working
man's
café
The
working
man's
café
Everything
around
me
seems
unreal
Everywhere
I
go
it
looks
and
feels
like
America
We've
really
come
a
long
way
down
this
road
Improving
our
surroundings
as
we
go
Changing
our
roots
and
culture
But
don't
you
know
Long
ago
there
was
a
working
man
Don't
you
know
we
were
all
working
men
And
we'd
sit
and
pass
the
time
of
day
At
the
working
man's
café
I
thought
I
knew
you
then
but
will
I
know
you
now?
There's
gotta
be
a
place
for
us
to
meet
I'll
call
you
when
I've
found
it
I
only
hope
that
life
has
made
us
a
little
more
grounded
Hey
man,
I
see
you
now.
Oh
oh,
we
were
all
working
men
And
here
we
are
at
the
working
man's
café
It's
really
good
to
see
us
come
so
far
But
haven't
we
forgotten
who
we
are
Taking
out
a
larger
loan
Equity
relief
and
mortgages
We
all
seem
to
pass
the
time
of
day
Online
at
the
internet
cafe
And
if
you
forget
my
face
In
case
you've
forgotten
just
who
I
am
I'm
the
kid
with
the
greasy
spoon
Firmly
held
in
my
hand
Don't
you
know
I
was
a
working
man
Long
ago
we
were
all
working
men
And
we
sat
and
spent
the
time
of
day
At
the
working
man's
café
Yeah,
at
the
working
man's
café
