Lyrics

Java Blues

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Stopped by a diner, and the blond behind the counter

Asked if she could help in any way

I could tell by her smile, her number i could dial

If i was in the need of company

I asked her for some java

Instead she brought a cup of chickory

A taste of java, is like a volcanic rush

Nobody's gonna stop me from drinkin too much

Costs many more than you care to pay

But money is nothin, compared to a fired-up day

Don't try to cheat, it's impossible to beat

The only pick-me-up that's here to stay

Java blues ... coffee's got me

Java blues ... coffee coffee coffee

Java blues ... well the coffee's got me

Java blues ... coffee coffee coffee

You know that i'll stay high

Drinkin coffee till i die

Java blues

Won't you boil me water ... fill up my cup

You know it takes alot to keep me up

Down in bolivia ... the people are insane

They want as much for java as they do for cocaine

Don't try to cheat, it's impossible to beat

The only pick-me-up that's here to stay

Java blues ... coffee's got me

Java blues ... coffee coffee coffee

Java blues ... you don't know what it does to me

Java blues ... coffee coffee coffee

You know that i'll stay high

Drinkin coffee till i die

Java blues ...
