Story behind the song
Well, there was no song to be found about Kopi Luwak coffee, and at $300 per pound with such a hard-to-believe origin, I felt it deserved one.
On 3 Indonesian islands there are palm civets (weasel-cats) that eat the coffee cherries and excrete the partially digested coffee beans. The island residents sift through the excrement and extract said coffee beans and wash them (thoroughly, I hope) and sell about 500 pounds a year - mostly to the Japanese, but some to the US.
Coffee experts who have tasted the coffee claim it has a smooth, "earthy" taste...
Lyrics
There ain’t nothin’ like hot fresh cup of joe
Nothing else I know
Liquid paradise warming up my soul
All the way to my toes.
But they tell me there’s an island out there
With the most expensive coffee anywhere.
The reason it’s so good; they claim it’s true,
Because it’s harvested from weasel poo.
Give me a low-fat, decaf cat crapuccino,
A litter box latte’.
It tastes a little earthy, but it must be worth the
25 bucks I pay
I must be climbing up the social ladder
Sippin’ coffee manufactured from behind the bladder
Of exotic weasel cats called Indonesian civets;
On top of the world - I’m really livin’.
Give me a low-fat, decaf cat crapuccino.
Don’t want no hazel nuts; no sissy flavors,
Just want to savor … “the real thing”.
Grind up those weasel beans , brew it hot and strong;
It won’t be long now.
I get my precious brew from an island out there;
It’s the most expensive coffee anywhere.
The reason it’s so good, I know it’s true,
Because it’s predigested in the weasel poo.
Give me a low-fat, decaf cat crapuccino,
A litter box latte’.
It tastes a little earthy, but I know it’s worth the
25 bucks I pay
I’m climbing up the social ladder
Sippin’ coffee manufactured from behind the bladder
Of exotic weasel cats called Indonesian civets;
On top of the world - I’m really livin’
Give me a low-fat, decaf cat crapuccino,
A litter box latté.
I want a low-fat, decaf cat crapuccino,
A kitty cat café.
Give me a low-fat, decaf cat crapuccino,
A litter box latté.
A low-fat, decaf cat crapuccino,
A feline Greek crappé.
