( Funny coffee song lyrics )
STEAMING CUP OF COFFEE
Copyright © 2004 - mickterry.com

1: The mornings are slow. My world's in a fog.
I need to get my brain in gear.
It seems to have slipped a cog.
The mornings are slow. I need just a push.
I need to get my head on straight.
It seems to be a tangled bush.

CHORUS A:
I think I'm going to get another steaming cup of coffee.
Don't think I've had enough to get that edge on yet.
I need a little more to make me not so groggy.
I need a little more to help me clear my head.
Another cup. I'm waking up.
_ And I am not yet out of bed. _

2: As lunchtime draws near, the day starts to drag.
I need a little pick-me-up
as brain cells begin to lag.
As lunchtime draws near, my eyes start to droop.
I need a little something else.
I'm feeling just a little pooped.
CHORUS B:   _ I haven't been to Starbucks yet. _

BRIDGE:
Give me a Caffeine au Latte, a Cocoa Mocha Slurp,
a Java just to lift me up with a few old-fashioned perks.
Give me Espresso con Gusto, Cappuccino-Off-the-Walls.
If I wasn't so much anti-drugs, I'd be addicted to it all.

3: By mid-afternoon, I'm down in the dumps.
I need something to motivate,
to pull me out of a slump.
Then, late afternoon, way too tired to drive.
I need some kind of special jolt
to help in keeping me alive.
CHORUS C:   _ And pretty soon it's back to bed. _

CODA:
Don't know how I'd ever make it through each & every day
if it wasn't for all those hits of caffeine
that keep me going on my way.
Don't know how I'd ever make it & I see nothing wrong
in that once I get myself to bed each night,
I'm wide awake the whole night long.
