J$J Cafe

If I should win the jackpot today
I’ll go and buy my own cafe
Name it after JSJ
And turn the S into the sign of money

The J$J Cafe is blue
With pretty lights of every hue
The bar is stocked with micro brew
The finest wines, dontcha’ know, and whiskey

Joel is cookin’ up hot tamales
Salsa, rice, and spicy frijoles
The chef he hired is scrubbin’ the toidies
You toe the line or you pay for it, buddy

Sarah connects the cords for the band
Crawls around amps and microphone stands
She’s got her eye on the geetar man
Plant never sounded so good, did he honey

Joseph has got ‘em packed in the bar
Everyone wants to follow the star
He’s singin’ a riddle straight from his heart
Ain’t no way outa here, but nobody’s running

So please bet a buck on the lottery
And help me invest in my wildest dream
You’ll all be invited to the very first party
Making J$J a total reality

And to my loved ones, S & J
I hope and pray that you will say
“You won the lotto? We did too
When you’re ready, we’ll go with you”

Dream it, visualize it and manifest it into reality!

I can see it now!---the J$J Cafe! Looks good!--and it's packed with patrons!

Here's to making it into a happening thing!

Thank you, Talia, we'll be needing a bass guitar player, for sure....

Thank you Earth Angel, I think you're right, visualize first, the rest will come!
