[Verse] I’d skip breakfast, skip my plans, Shake awake with trembling hands Promise you my overtime, For one hot cup before nine [Verse] I’d trade my shoes, I'd trade my hat, Even my favorite kitty cat Take my blanket, take my spine, Just give me coffee before nine [Verse] I’d face rush hour, I’d pay a fine, Stand forever in the checkout line Anything to realign My bloodstream with caffeine’s design [Verse] Step up to the counter, she asks for my name, I say, “Just write ‘regular,’ if it’s all the same.” She says, “You want cream? You want it sweet?” I say, “Let me tell you how to make my treat.” [Chorus] I like my coffee to look like a paper bag, And taste like a candy bar That’s all I ask, that’s all I want, Nothing fancy, nothing bizarre [Verse] I don’t need it fancy, I don’t need it tall, No caramel drizzle, no name to call Just pour it strong, let it smell like dawn, Something to turn my brain back on [Verse] You can keep your pumpkin cream parade, Your holiday cups and sweet charades, Mine’s just steam and simple grace, Light brown magic, with a sugared taste [Chorus] I like my coffee to look like a paper bag, And taste like a candy bar Let it whisper instead of brag, That’s just the way things are [Bridge] But somewhere in the world they say, Beans take a most unusual way Through a jungle cat’s behind That’s how some folks clear their mind They call it smooth, The beans from cat ass, If that's your cup I think I'll pass [Outro] So maybe I’ll sip something brown, Not strained through cats from out of town Let others chase that feline spree I’ll put the kettle on for tea
