For just a few nights, towards the end of July

In the 'City That Never Sleeps'

The Blues come alive, at a cafe you'll find

Only on Cornelia Street

Between Bleeker (of course) and 4th to the North

West of 6th Avenue

Village folks come to dine, and have a good time

On Cornelia Street, the Soul of the Blues

Come hear the Blues

From down-home in the country

With the rhythm and roots of the land

Some city bred Soul

Some sweet Rock 'n Roll

Even a hard-drivin' horn-blowin' band

So why wonder why, on those nights in July

Which menu or venue to choose

Hurry on down, while the Blues are in town

To Cornelia Street, the Soul of the Blues

[Instrumental Break]

Come hear the Blues

From down-home in the country

With the rhythm and roots of the land

Some city bred Soul

Some sweet Rock 'n Roll

Even a hard-drivin' horn-blowin' band

So why wonder why, on those nights in July

Which menu or venue to choose

Hurry on down, while the Blues are in town

To Cornelia Street, the Soul of the Blues
