Coffe and Wine

Tommy, you know, he had one deaf ear

Back from his minesweeping days

You never could tell just what he could and could not hear

And he intended to keep it that way

He joined the Navy just like his Daddy done

When he was of the rightful age

He took off right quick like many a kid did

When he parents took hard to the drink

And now it's coffee like it's fine wine, wine like it's water

Any time's a good time so go unlock your daughters

With his motorcycle friends, they're going off again

From the Black Sea all the way to Britain

All the way to Britain

She was a dame of New Jersey fame,

Lived her life like it was a bourre game

And if there were sides being taken

You better believe you wanna be on the side she was on

She went to the city for secretary school

Ended up working for the CIA

She had a short hand that didn't suffer no fools

She intended to keep it that way

And she drink coffee like it's fine wine, wine like it's water

Any old time she could any horse she wanted

And if you gonna ride then you ride it like you stole it from a steeple chase

She drink coffee like it's fine wine, wine like it's water

Boys tried to give chase but no one ever caught her

Till she found her love, and Sheila didn't let Tommy sleep for days

Their first meeting was hardly a word

But he built her a harpsichord

And he found her unconscious just inside the door

And carried her to help

Now every now and again

She pretends to faint on the harpsichord bench

And he picks her up again and carries her up to their bed

And they drink coffee like it's fine wine, wine like it's water

Any time's a good time cause now they have a daughter

And she rides so fast, they said they gonna name her Farley

They drink coffee like it's fine wine, wine like it's water

Don't ask what kind, it's just the kind our parents brought us

From the Black Sea shore and the girl next door who could ride

They drink coffee like it's fine wine, wine like it's water

Any times's a good time cause now they have a daughter

And she rides so fast, they said they gonna name her Farley

They drink coffee like it's fine wine, wine like it's water

Don't ask what kind, it's just the kind our parents brought us

From the Black Sea shore and the girl next door who could ride
