THE COFFEE SONG (live)
First thing in the morning
And if I had my way
The morning wouldn't come
So goddamned early in the day
But I got the magic potion
To set my ass in motion
Three or four cups more
And I might get out the door

My doctor says to cool it
He thinks he's so smart
He says I better listen
Before I percolate my heart
But I pour myself a cup or two
For every word he says
And I quaff a quart of caffeine
For every little bean
Picked by Juan Valdez

Now me I have this theory
And it drips with the truth
It says, "Mrs. Olson's saved more marriages
Than Dr. Ruth!"
Cuz if baby's cup don't measure up
There's gonna be remorse
She'll be brewing discontent
And leaving grounds for divorce

Now I'm sittin' in a Denny's
And I'm feelin' so fine
As the waitress fills my cup up
For the 52nd time
But now she's lookin' at me funny
She's movin' kinda slow
Somethin' ain't right here I don't know
I got places to go, people to see
Get me my check, dammit!
Chop, chop, honey!
What's wrong with these people?
Theh think I got all day?
And why does everybody keep
Looking at me that way?
There's something going on here!
They're all out to get me!
It's part of a big plot!
How much you wanna bet me?
They're trying to do me in!
What else am I to think?
They're gonna stab me in the back!
Or put something in my drink.
