Coffee Blues
Charles Suddeth
Follow me down to the coffee house!
Choose you a brew—dark roast even,
Kona, Central America, and south,
But dump that sugar and cream in the floor.
Drink, drink, drink that coffee down!
They ran out of java? Say goodbye,
March away to the next coffee house!
They have drip, espresso and more,
Don’t say decaff, this is a coffee crew!
Drink, drink, drink that coffee down!
They ran out of beans? Time to scoot!
Next coffee house is just down the street!
Tell them to fill your mug to the brim,
Anyone caught sipping tea is outa here!
Drink, drink, drink that coffee down!
They’re turning the lights off, locking the doors,
Seems that dawn is trying to break through,
Gotta get home before the sun burns my eyes,
I’ll slip into bed, never tell where I’ve been.
What’s that aroma? Someone’s got coffee going!
