Let's go down to the Sunset Grill   We can watch the working girls go by   Watch the basket people walk around and mumble   And stare out at the auburn sky   There's an old man there from the Old World   To him it's all the same, callls all his customers by name      Down at the Sunset Grill, down at the Sunset Grill   Down at the Sunset Grill, down at the Sunset Grill      You see a lot more meanness in the city   It's the kind that eats you up inside   Hard to come away with anything that feels like dignity   Hard to get home with any pride   These days a man makes you something   And you never see his face, but there is no hiding place      Down at the Sunset Grill, down at the Sunset Grill   Down at the Sunset Grill, down at the Sunset Grill      Respectable little murders pay   They get more respectable every day   Don't worry girl, I'm gonna stick by you   And someday soon we're gonna get in that car   And get outta here      Let's go down to the Sunset Grill   Watch the working girls go by   Watch the basket people walk around and mumble   And gaze out at the auburn sky   And maybe we'll leave come springtime   Meanwhile, have another beer   What would we do without all these jerks anyway?   Besides, all our friends are here      Down at the Sunset Grill, down at the Sunset Grill   Down at the Sunset Grill, down at the Sunset Grill
