a Guam version of my song with Bill Osofsky...
Bill gave me permission to do a Guam specific re-write of his lyric for our 2009 song 'Cafe Ole'....
CAFE OLE Osovsky/Siegel 2009
(verse)
He ran an all-night club in San Diego
When he moved back to Guam, thought he'd do the same
He Bought an empty place out by the college
And blessed it with a simple Spanish name
He thought he'd draw the party kind of student
With zoris on her feet, and her daddy’s credit card...
But college types who heard the name came thinkin'
That he served double lattes and tarts .....
It was the Cafe Ole
A Micronesian cantina
Where everybody’s friends...
And the waitress is Filipina
But confusion in translation
The party crowd was stayin’ away
From the Cafe Ole, the Cafe Ole
So he ran a radio ad on Malafunkshun
Said we don't serve no fancy coffee topped with foam
And if your drink is decaf cappachino
Well, better make yourself a cup at home
Cause we're the Cafe Ole
A Micronesian cantina
Where everybody’s friends
And the waitress is flirty filipina...
We got tequila and kelaguen chessa..
Everything here to par-tay...
At the Cafe Ole, the Cafe Ole
Bridge...
Now he’s drinkin’ tuba with his island company...
Asking for some pugua, with lime and pupulu leaf.....
At the Cafe Ole
A Micronesian cantina
Where everybody’s friends
And the waitress is blond Filipina
Well, since they opened a Starbucks in Tumon...
Now everything's goin' OK
At the Cafe Ole, at the Cafe Ole
