COFFEE SONG


I LIKE THE SMELL OF COFFEE, THE GRINDING OF THE BEAN
THE BITTER TASTE OF CAPPUCCINO, THE TEXTURE OF THE FOAM THE STEAM

MORNINGS, MIDDAYS OR EVENINGS, WHILE DRIVING IN MY CAR
AN AFTER DINNER CHAT WITH FRIENDS, OR MUSIC AT THE ESPRESSO BAR

JAVA, THAT?S MY GURU,
THE DRIP DROP DRIP DROP DRIP THRU THE COFFEE GROUNDS
THAT JUNGLE MORNING COFFEE STARTS
THE DAILY GRIND ANEW

I?VE NEVER BEEN TO COLUMBIA OR THE MOUNTAINS OF PERU
BUT AS I DRINK MY DECAFE LATTE, I IMAGINE MYSELF THERE WITH YOU
I GUESS I SHOULD THANK THE OTTOMAN TURKS FOR BRINGING COFFEE TO CONSTANTINOPLE
AND THE ITALIANS FOR THE ESPRESSO MAKER AND CAPPUCCINO


JAVA, THAT?S MY GURU,
THE DRIP DROP DRIP DROP DRIP THRU THE COFFEE GROUNDS
JUNGLE MORNING COFFEE STARTS
THE DAILY GRIND ANEW

MAYBE I SHOULD JUST DRINK SPRING WATER
AND GIVE UP THIS MIGHTY DRUG
OH BUT I?VE GOT SO MUCH TO DO TODAY
WAITER.....ONE MORE DOUBLE ESPRESSO
IN MY MUG
