Garrison Keillor: It's spring, and the days are longer and nature is bursting forth with new life and it's time to live, go, do, be productive, and if you find it hard to keep up, remember — caffeine. (THEME) It's the life-giving drug that keeps northerners on their toes. Who said you had to switch over to decaf in the evening? Live. Drink coffee.

THEME

In St. Paul or Minneapolis,
Whether sleeveless or strapless
Drink coffee.
You will wake up, you will rally
In Richfield or Golden Valley
Black coffee.
Life's a comic operetta
In Eagan or Wayzata
In Coon Rapids or Anoka
Drink it black or with mocha
Let yourself be stimulated
Just make sure it's caffeinated — that's coffee. (BIG BUTTON)
