The Starbucks of County Down (Trifolkal) Traditional music, lyrics by Neal Phillips, Greg Trafidlo & John Seay
A parody of a traditional Irish tune, "The Star of County Down," that swaps caffeine for Guiness.

On a tour bus bound out of Dublin Town One morning last July Passed a sweet colleen, wearing cut-off jeans Thought she winked as she caught my eye
I asked the driver if he did know Where this lovely lass hangs around He said, she's the queen of the steam machine At the Starbucks of County Down
Like soft ice cream from the Dairy Queen Her skin was as fair as I've found No babe I've seen like the sweet colleen From the Starbucks of County Down
So I roved right down to her cafe counter And ordered a tall latte Made her laugh when I said "decaf" And I knew she'd be mine that day
Her eyes were green as young coffee beans Her hair it was hazelnut brown There was foam and froth, when we pledged our troth At the Starbucks of County Down
Roasted, dark, espresso blend Columbian freshly ground These are all great words that you have not heard As the song is a-winding down
From Bantry Beach to Seattle streets From Galway to Puget Sound No babe I've seen like my sweet colleen The barista of County Down
Yes, my bride's the queen of the cappuccin-o At the Starbucks of County Down
