I.e., I’m glad I went to Texas and can sing about ‘The Bucksnort Cafe.’
It’s a long title for a column, I know, but in the early days with The Londoner I had lots of space for titles and used every inch. Also, I mention singing about ‘The Bucksnort Cafe’ and folks may wonder if a song exists. Yup, pardner, it does.
The Bucksnort Café
Backgrounder: “While driving to a fire fighter college in Texas a number of years ago, in order to visit my oldest son, I spotted a road sign in Kentucky directing traffic to the town of Bucksnort. Shortly after telling my wife we should retire to Bucksnort and open a coffee shop, this song followed.” gaharrison
The Bucksnort Café
Chorus:
I’m going to the Bucksnort Café,
I’ll have my first cup of the day,
I’ll talk to my pals, joke with the gals,
Life is good at the Bucksnort Café.
["Yup, I could drinka cuppa coffee 'bout now"]
Verse 1. I’ll get toast and thick marmalade,
The cranberry scones are homemade.
Two packets of sugar, some cream, and a stir,
Life is sweet at the Bucksnort Café.
I’ll pull out my Free Coffee card,
To get eight holes punched ain’t too hard.
First eight there’s a fee, the ninth cup is free,
Get a deal at the Bucksnort Café.
Chorus:
I’m going to the Bucksnort Café,
Their coffee gets me going each day,
I’ll talk to my pals, joke with the gals,
Life is good at the Bucksnort Café.
