Lyrics

Rolling up Broadway, 6am
Brothers all out still in their beds
Just walking down a street in Oaktown
Going to work
Past the empty ball courts and Mosswood Park
And over to Macarthur Boulevard
I'm just walking down a street in Oaktown
Going to work
Smells like fog and eucalyptus trees
As i unlock the door, hey feel my breeze
I'm a man, damnit
I'm the man with the key
And I'm out with a broom gettin' the sidewalk clean
When the bus blows by, throws it back at me
But I'm smiling
In the flowerboxes
Café Joli, pretty as you please
Café Joli, it's pretty to me
Café Joli, great as you please
Café Joli, it's pretty to me
Hiss of a grill and the crash of a dish
There's a girl from the art school, check out that bitch
J.J.'s got his hands down his pants
'Cause in the back he's shoutin' at me
"Hey, why you always shoutin' at me?"
'Cause it's loud here
And I want you to hear me
I'm in love with the waitress, she's rubbin' her eye
Ignored and frowning, looks me in the eye
Said "i didn't sleep much"
"Well, neither did I"
Café Joli, pretty as you please
Café Joli, it's pretty to me
Café Joli, great as you please
Café Joli, it's pretty to me
Oh my God, it's Huey P
Well, I wish they'd never set him free
I'm afraid of his eyes
No, I don't wanna go there
And my mom had a picses por figlio
And he slept on the couch like a fatto, che no
Jorge's got the biggest smile you ever saw
And it's down to the store for more Old Crow
Or vodka for their orange juice, I don't know
While we clean up, we're dancing
You drop the bomb on me
Café Joli, pretty as you please
Café Joli, it's pretty to me
Café Joli, pretty as you please
Café Joli, it's pretty to me
Café Joli (and the sun's up now)
Pretty as you please (and it's 2 in the afternoon)
Café Joli (and i'm out the front door)
It's pretty to me (just cash my check)
Café Joli (and i'm walking down broadway)
Pretty as you please (past Oakland 10 now)
Café Joli (and the brothers are driving by)
It's pretty to me (with their mad dog stare)
Café Joli (and i'm blasting Too Short)
Pretty as you please (and I wish I was too sure)
Café Joli (but I don't wish I was too short)
Pretty as you please
Café Joli (it's summertime)
