You know Maggie, I've been accused of many things in my life, but never before "a fount of information." I'm usually known for missinformation and poor spelling! Here's another one:

COPENHAGEN (Snuff or Snoose)

To a geopolitician, Copenhagen is a city
To an old time musician, Copenhagen is a ditty
But to loggers and longshoremen, and the worker in the mill
A rare of Copenhagen snoose gives power of the will
CHO
Take your steaks, and your stews, and your well boiled hen
Give me a chew of Copenhagen
I've had a tough life, taken plenty abuse
And I'd never stood up without my snoose.

Some say it ain't neat, It isn't polite
Try to take way my snoose and, brother, I'll fight
A blood transfusion wouldn't do me any use
Just fill me veins with tobacco juice

CHO
For men in the woods, the mills and the mine
Good old Copenhagen takes the slack out of the lines
And here's a fact I forgot to mention
To chew Copenhagen is fire prevention.
