GARDEN DAYS
(Music and Lyric by Louis Rosen)

Summer nights at the
King’s Café
Sing for drinks, swing the
Night away
An upright dive in an
Uptight town
Comes alive when the
Sun goes down

Junior Burke and his
One-man crew
Wait backstage for their
Entrance cue
A kiss for luck and they’re
On their way
The show is on at the
King’s Café

Oh… those were
Garden Days
Slow, smoky
Garden Days
Plant seeds and
Pray for sun
Garden Days
Never done

Mapo taps out our
Favorite beer
A shot or two, when the
Coast is clear
Feeds us well when we
Look too lean
A tattooed saint on this
Late-night scene

Junior Burke and his
One-man crew
Play for keeps, play the
Whole night through
The midnight show at the
King’s Café
Music flows, blows that
Crowd away

Oh… those were
Garden Days
Sweet, salty
Hothouse days
Big dreams to
Build upon
Garden Days
Never done
On and on

Oh,
Garden Days
Slow
Hothouse Days
Plant seeds and
Pray for sun
Garden Days
Never done
On and on

Summer nights at the
King’s Cafe
