| Song | Working Man's Café |
| Artist | Ray Davies |
| Album | Working Mans Café |
| 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 |
