Put the Coffee On

You came by to loan a cake pan Said you couldn’t stay too long Then you asked about my sister With your jacket halfway on I was putting up the dishes You were leaning on the sink By the time we got to your week We both could use a drink Somebody put the coffee on Pull another chair up here There’s a little cake from Sunday We can make it disappear You can tell me all about it You can stay till half past two I ain't got much else planned That was better than seeing you Then your neighbor brought some peaches And your brother came for his drill He said, “I can’t stay, I’m working” But he took a seat here still We found out who’s getting married And whose truck won’t start again Your brother’s told that story twice We let him tell the end Somebody put the coffee on Pull another chair up here There’s a little cake from Sunday We can make it disappear You can tell me all about it You can stay till half past two I ain't got much else planned That was better than seeing you “I should go.” “You said that.” “Where’s my coat?” “Behind your back.” “Is that the time?” “The clock’s a little fast.” “Well, half a cup.” “I knew you’d ask.” Somebody put the coffee on Pull another chair up here There are crumbs where that cake used to be And we’re all still sitting here You can tell me all about it There’s another pot to brew I ain't got much else planned That was better than seeing you Take some peaches when you leave And don’t forget your cake pan If you’re passing by tomorrow Maybe we'll do this once again
