House of the Rising Bun

"There is a house in New Orleans, They call it "Cafe One" And it's been the home of Many a cinnabun, And God knows I don't want another one, My father was a baker, Baked many a blueberry pie, My mother was a coffee freak, And I know not why.... Now the only thing a baker needs, Is an apron, an oven, and a paste gun, To spend his time in the kitchen heat, I know it can't be fun He's got one spatula in the dough bowl, And an oven mitt on the other one, He bakes his Pillsbury Dough Boys, And it's hotter than the sun... There is a cafe in New Orleans, They call it "Cafe One", And God knows, I'm sick as hell, Of every Cinnabun, I think I ate a ton." With apologies to Eric Burdon and the Animals.
