Hello Thomas and Perlene,

Here's a song I wrote after a visit to your cafe in 2009 - perhaps you'll recognize our group from the photo - I'm second from right, bottom row.  

We loved our time in the cafe and I was inspired to write the song when I got back to Canada.  I belt it out most days and drive my housemate insane.

I hope you enjoy it and that everything's going well. Maybe I'll get a free beer next time...? 

Here are the lyrics to COLEMAN'S CAFE

V1
Southbound, seven in a Previa, ready for a stop along our way, 
Wood sign, pointing down a narrow road, led us to the Coleman's Cafe.
The owner, met us at the swinging gate, smiling with a welcome and a wave, 
He asked me, would I please put on a shirt, preferred here at the Coleman's Cafe, 

Chorus
Thomas and Perlene run, a cool cafe and make it fun, 
Welcome fans, a self serve bar, you'll love the food and the way they are.

V2
Do you, know where we can take a swim? A dip would be relief on a hot day.
The river, on family day below the bridge, minutes from the Coleman's Cafe...ohhh, 

Chorus
Thomas and Perlene run a cool cafe and make it fun, 
Whirlwind fans, a self serve bar, you'll love the food and the way they are,
You can make your calls to home or buy some minutes for your phone, 
Make a plan to break your fast, then take some pics to make it last.

Bridge
So now is there any reason why, that underneath that clear blue sky, 
Fate stepped in to help us find, the Coleman's little wooden sign?
Did it, somehow sense our interest, experiencing C.A's best? 
A special time in Toledo State, South Belize, we thank you fate...yaaa 

V3
So if you're, on the road north of PG, the entrance to Big Falls is where we say.
You should, turn to feel Belizian spirit at the Coleman's Cafe,

Chorus
Thomas and Perlene run a cool cafe and make it fun, 
Fantastic fans, a self serve bar, you'll love the food and the way they are, 
You can make your calls to home or buy some minutes for your phone.
Make a plan to break your fast, then take some pics to make it last.  Oh
Thomas and Perlene run, a cool cafe and make it fun.
Fantastic fans, a self serve bar, we love that place and how they are.

                                                   The End
