We're not a thing

Black coffee (ooh)

Freshly ground and fully prepared

Hot black coffee, boy (black coffee)

Mmm that's where it's at (mean it)

Way back yonder when I don't know when

See I got hungover before I was ten

You see my skin is white but my soul is black

And a hot black coffee, that's where it's at

That's what I'm talking about

Some black tea

It can't compare with me (can't compare with me)

Black tea (ooh)

Well it's as good as, it's as good as

It's as good as it can be

But it's a cup of black coffee

That a working man needs to see, yeah

Here in America, where it's the land of the free

And you can get what you want if you've got some do re mi

And I've got me a job, and I'm working like a slave

Yeah I'm independent and you know I get paid

Say I got me a man, and I got me a little place

I got a spit of black coffee, and how good it tastes

I said a, a dime is all it costs in the States

For a cup of black coffee and how good it tastes

And alright

(Black coffee) ooh, what I want me

(Black coffee) that's what I want, that's what I need
