It's just a small cafe on Cherry Street But you meet All kinds of people It's where actors and aldermen and anarchists Come exchange jobs and fists Honey, come on in The fun shall soon begin Down here at the bottom of Manhattan Isle There's a place to go when you go out of style Everybody knows everybody goes Walking through the Cherry Street Cafe See a famous poet there against the wall Learning with the lady in the Spanish shawl Councilmen and cooks, students with their books Meet 'em at the Cherry Street Cafe
