Coffee, to go!
The trouble with the world today, it seems to me
Is coffee in a cardboard cup
The trouble with the affluent society
Is coffee in a cardboard cup
No one's ever casual, or nonchalant
No one wastes a minute in a restaurant
No one wants a waitress passing pleasantries
Like, "Hiya, miss?"
"Hiya, sir?"
"May I take your order please"
The trouble with the world today is plain to see
Is everything is "Hurry up!"
It's, "Rush it through"
"Don't be slow"
"BLT"
"On rye to go"
"And java!"
"Cup of joe!"
"Espresso!"
"Cappuchino!"
"Black coffee"
"In a cardboard cup"
The trouble with the helter skelter life we lead
Is coffee in a cardboard (doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah)
The trouble the psychologists have all agreed
Is coffee in a - board (wah, wah, wah, wah)
Tell me what could possibly be drearier
Than seaboard from the Belnord cafeteria
Seems to me a gentleman would much prefer
An "Afternoon, how you been? Would you like the special, sir?"
The trouble with the world today is plain to see
Is everything is "Hurry up!"
There's reddy whip
Electric shave
Minute rice
And microwaves
And coffee
I think she said, "Coffee"
I know she said, "Coffee"
I'm sure she said, "Coffee"
In a cardboard cup
The trouble with the world today beyond a doubt
Is coffee in a cardboard, cardboard (cup, cup)
The trouble is the way we like to take things out
Like coffee in a cardboard, cardboard (cup, cup)
No one knows the meaning of utopia
Is dining at your corner cornucopia
Seems to me we wouldn't be such nervous wrecks
With, "Hello there, be right back, would you care for separate checks?"
The trouble with the world today is plain, is plain to see
Is everything is "Hurry up!" (Everything is "Hurry up!")
It's all become Loony Toons with sugar packs, and plastic spoons
And coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee
Coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee
Coffee in a cardboard (cup!)
Hot! Black! Rich! Steamy! Strong! Fast! Sweet! Creamy! Yum!
Oh, I gotta pee
(Ohh...)
Hurry up!
