Coffee Break - Frank Loesser

No coffee?!

No coffee

No coffee!

If I can’t take

My coffee break

My coffee break

My coffee break

If I can’t take

My coffee break

Something within me dies

Dies down and something within me dies

If I can’t make

Three daily trips

Where shining shrine

Benignly drips

And taste cardboard

Between my lips

Something within me dies

Dies down and something within me dies

No coffee…

No coffee!

No coffee!

No coffee!

No coffee!

No coffee!

No coffee!

No coffee!

That office’s light

Doesn’t have to be florescent

I’ll get no pains

In my head

That office chair

Doesn’t have to be foam rubber

So if I spread, so I spread

But only one chemical substance

Gets out the lead

Like she said?

If I can’t take

My coffee break

My coffee break

My coffee break…

If I can’t take

My coffee break…

Gone is the sense of enterprise

All gone and something within me dies

No coffee!

No coffee!

No coffee!

No coffee!

No coffee!

No coffee!

Aaaah!

If I can’t take

My coffee break

My coffee break

My coffee break…

If I can’t take

My coffee break…

Somehow the soul no longer tries

Coffee, coffee…

Somewhere I don’t metabolize

Coffee, coffee…

Something within me …

Coffee or otherwise…

Coffee or otherwise…

Coffee or otherwise…

Something inside of me…

Dies!
