(excerpt from) (where’s my) Cuppa Coffee

from “Paradise - when Jazz was swingin”

Last night stayed up partyin’ all nite long.

I thought no harm done. Buddy I was wrong

‘cuz stayin’ up two nites is two nites too long.


Fuzzy eyes, crumpled ties bosses that don’t sympathize.

I’ve seen it all.

How do you get from here to there

when your energy starts to fall?

There’s only just one thing you’ve got to call.


Where’s my cuppa coffee?

where’d you put my Java fix.

Like it sweet like toffee.

I take it single blend or mix.

I tell ya’  life is never quite as stimulatin’

‘till that first cup o’ the day.


Blue mountain, Moka, Colombian bean

the best slice of heaven that’s ever been seen.
