I’ve got rhythm in my walls
and a beat in my foundations.
There’s soul soaked in the carpet
and I’m full of good vibrations.
Come on in, pull up a chair,
we’ll pour you a libation,
and you’ll spend this magic night
swept away on incantations.

This place is built on diligence
and heartfelt dedication;
the search for love, community
and cultural preservation.
I’ve seen a lot over the years,
had my fair share of frustrations;
but I’m still here, and each new day
is cause for celebration.

Welcome, friend – I’ve set the stage
for a musical sensation.
Sip a pint, enjoy a roast,
indulge in your flirtations.
My lights are low, the mood is right
for intense captivation;
this city is an orchestra –
come, join our congregation.

We’ve all got songs within us
brimming with imagination.
We all just want a space to be,
free from discrimination.
Don’t be shy, you’re wanted here;
I’m a Platform for creation.
Community unites us all,
and music’s our salvation.
