[Verse 1]
They come from the farms and the factories too,
And they all soon forget who they are
The cares of today are soon washed away
As they sit on 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 is a very good friend
Of a man who sells cars second hand
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
The salesmen relax with a few pints of beer
And they try not to speak about trade
The poet wont write any verses tonight
he may sing a sweet sernade
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 lets all meet again
[Chorus]
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
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
[Chorus] (key change)
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
(fade out)
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.
