Give me coffee, black as night, Strong enough to set me right. Ten parts coffee, one part water, Make it darker, make it stronger. Every sip, I quietly pray: “Please keep me out of jail today.” Keep me calm, keep me sane, Pour that black coffee once again. Coffee strong, coffee black, Bring my patience slowly back. Before I work, before I speak, Give me coffee strong and deep. Every sip, the same old prayer: “Keep me calm while I’m sitting here.” Ten parts coffee, one part water, If it looks dangerous, make it stronger. **Coffee strong enough to keep me out of jail, Pitch-black coffee — never fail. Every morning, every day, Coffee keeps the trouble away.** No latte foam, no milk, no cream, Don’t ruin my dark caffeine dream. No fancy syrup, no sweet delight, I want my coffee black as night. Make it thick, make it mean, Strongest coffee ever seen. If the spoon can stand upright, Then you might have made it right. Before the coding, before the screen, Before I deal with human beings, Fill my mug right to the top, And whatever you do — don’t let it stop. Every bug and broken line, Needs another caffeine sign. System errors, code gone wrong, Pour more coffee, make it strong. **Coffee strong enough to keep me out of jail, Pitch-black coffee — never fail. Every morning, every day, Coffee keeps the trouble away.** Ten parts coffee, one part water, Then somehow make it even stronger. If it burns through desk and floor, That’s the coffee I adore. One dark sip, I start to cope, Two dark sips restore my hope. Three dark sips and I can say, “I may survive the working day.” So when you see me looking tired, Patience gone and brain misfired, Don’t ask questions, don’t delay — Just bring the coffee right away. **Coffee strong enough to keep me out of jail, Pitch-black coffee — never fail. Black as midnight, strong as sin, Pour it out and let the day begin.** **Ten parts coffee, one part water, Make it darker, make it stronger. Every sip, one simple prayer: “Coffee, please keep me out of jail.”**
