Coffee Shop
Goin’ to work at the coffee shop ; If it’s coffee you want ; Well, it’s coming right up. ; Goin’ to work at the coffee shop ; Short cup of black, well, I’ll cough it right up. ; Goin’ back to “Coffeeville”, ; Just off the long road, the same old drill. ; A cinnamon roll, a cup of warm tea, ; My apron comes on, it’s work for me. ; Cigarettes, Angry “gents”, on their way, ; Stop to take a sip of another gray day ; Make it smooth, make it dark, make it short, make it hot, ; Serve it with a smile and wait for their o.k. ; Goin’ to work… ; The sun comes up from a coffee cup, ; As the ladies take a seat at the table out back. ; Nice perky wives of respectable men, ; Who work long days to make the money they spend ; A couple walks in, a senior checks out, ; The faces change, but the expressions not. ; They sit and stair, poke their hair, Hopin’ for someone to care. ; Jabbing off the aspects of the complex life. ; Goin’ to work… ; The sun comes down on the coffee shop ; served my time, served my cup ; Find an overdressed man, my boss on display, ; Mumble a “goodbye” and I’m on my way. ; Comin’ back from the coffee shop, ; If it’s coffee you want, come back at 8 o’clock. ; Comin’ back from the coffee shop ; To make the best of the time I’ve got now;
