Lyrics

Coffee Trip [Joe Kretschmer, Feb. 11, 2008; play on banjo]

Oh, Lord, it's morning; I don't wanna get up
Oh, Lord, it's morning; really need a cup
I'll plug in that coffee pot; it'll take forever 'til it's hot
Hhnuh...

My whole body's waitin', while that coffee brews
That first sip of coffee, ya know it tastes so smooth
Gets my motor goin', gets me in the groove

Now I'm feeling better; think I can face the day
Goin' to work now, but don't know if this feelin's gonna stay
Better get another cup of coffee on the way

Two cups of coffee; now I'm feelin' good
Workin' at my desk just way I know I should
A big ol' smile upon my face; my heart begins to race
Oh, yeah...

Another cup of coffee, now that makes it three
Boss is smilin'; I know what he can see
I know he's approvin' of my productivity

Had three cups of coffee, now I'm wantin' more
Skippin' to that coffee pot, hold my cup and start to pour
Sippin' and a-slurpin', shakin' and a-burpin'
Now it's four...

Four cups of coffee, now I'm hittin' my stride
That caffiene express is takin' me for a ride
Time is a-racin' by; the hands on the clock just fly
So high...

Lunch time's here, and I'll have another brew
Lunch time's over, now I've had quite a few
I munched a bunch o' lunch, didn't even take the time to chew

My coffee trip is over, and I've landed with a thud
You'd think I'd have learned by now, but it's just in my blood
So put them beans in that pot; get that water good and hot
'Til it's thick as mud...oh, yeah...I like it black!
