The Coffee Song
Brewing Desires: An Ode to Coffee's Battle
Lyrics
Young Derrick would love to take my order
Young Derrick is eager to take the speaker's coffee order.
He works at the coffee shop just up the street
Derrick works at a nearby coffee shop.
He's happy and annoying with a smirk the size of Texas
Derrick is cheerful, irritating, and has a large smirk.
He's my coffee enemy
Derrick is playfully labeled as the speaker's "coffee enemy."
Would you like a mochacino?
Derrick suggests various coffee options, showcasing his enthusiasm.
Or perhaps a cappucino?
-Or maybe a frappucino?
-Said Derrick wearing the chinos
-All I really want is a cup of coffee
The speaker simply desires a strong cup of coffee and expresses frustration with Derrick's suggestions.
So strong the spoon stands up just a cup of coffee
-All I really want is a cup of coffee
-Give me a friggin' cup of coffee, Derrick
-You should try out biscotti
Derrick promotes additional items like biscotti and a low-cal muffin.
Or a low-cal cabbage cookie
-This muffin's only 3.50
-And what's super great is that it's fat free
-Don't wanna smell like an espresso
There's a humorous rejection of coffee-scented products and a suggestion to try chai tea or tai chi.
With your coffee scented soap
-Maybe you should have some chai tea
-Or maybe join me in some tai chi
-All I really want is a cup of coffee
The speaker reiterates the desire for a simple cup of coffee and frustration with Derrick's offerings.
In a non-biodegradable cup just a cup of coffee
-All I really want is a cup of coffee
-Give me a friggin' cup of coffee
-Oh Derrick why won't you listen to me
The speaker pleads with Derrick to ignore other requests and provide a regular cup of good-tasting coffee.
I don't want a magazine or a CD
-I don't want a latte or a frappe
-Just give me a coffee that doesn't taste crappe
-All I really want is a cup of coffee (3X)
A repetition of the speaker's primary desire for a cup of coffee.
Give me a friggin' cup of coffee
-All I really want (3X)
Final repetition of the speaker's longing for coffee, emphasizing frustration with Derrick.
Give me a friggin' cup of coffee, Derrick
