One thing Portland is known for is its coffee, and -- if the truth be told -- coffee drinkers in Portland are both a little bit addicted and a little bit snobbish about their caffeine drink of choice.  As a result, P-town is home to some of the most unique, most interesting and most delicious coffee places around.  This week’s song, “Coffee,” is a tribute to those wild-eyed folks you see on your commute to work each day.

For the record, the three places mentioned in this song are:

Stumptown Coffee

Jim and Patty’s Coffee

Rimsky-Korsakoffee House

Lyrics:

I walked into Stumptown Coffee to start my day off right.

A double espresso did the trick -- removed the cobwebs of the night.

Now I’m set for my whole day, just needed that morning fix.

I don’t need another cup.  Or two.  Or three.  Or six.

Coffee in Portland runs through my veins.

Coffee in Portland: better than blood.

Coffee in Portland, how can I explain?

I think that I’m in love!

I walked into Jim and Patty’s in the middle of the day.

A little reboost -- a kick in the pants -- I ordered a grande latte.

Now I can go back to work, plop down at my desk and sit.

Just needed a little refresher -- it’s not like I can’t quit.

Coffee in Portland runs through my veins.

Coffee in Portland: better than blood.

Coffee in Portland, how can I explain?

I think that I’m in love!

My friends say it’s an addiction,

They worry about my health.

So now I drink alone sometimes,

And get my caffeine jolt by stealth.

I walked into Rimsky-Korsakoffee sometime late at night.

Just one last taste before I sleep: a double mocha delight.

I’m feeling good, I’m feeling strong, like I could do anything.

A little jittery, perhaps, but my step has that special spring.

Coffee in Portland runs through my veins.

Coffee in Portland: better than blood.

Coffee in Portland, how can I explain?

I think that I’m in love!

Coffee.  Coffee!  COFFEE!
