A Decent Cup

from Perfect World Today by Peter Galperin

/

lyrics

(verse 1)
Sitting in the morning sunlight,
I can’t get started without a cup of joe.
I think I’ll brew up some Jamaican,
Buy ten pounds, get one for free, that’s good to know.

(chorus)
I need to get... a decent cup of coffee. I’m so upset...
I need more foam.
I need to have... a decent cup of coffee,
just like the ones we drank in Rome.

(verse 2)
A nice warm mug and I’m in business,
because without it, my day could be rough.
Mix Sumatra with Italian, I’ve got some non-fat milk,
but will it be enough?

(chorus)
I need to get... a decent cup of coffee.
Not the crap they serve on planes.
I need to find... a decent cup of coffee,
and feel it deep inside my veins.

(verse 3)
Won’t you join me for a nitecap?
But after six it has to be de-caf for me.
Or I’ll be tossing, and turning,
instead of dreaming of my sweet caffeine.
