The Coffee Song

Arrogant Worms · Toast [2004]

Young Derrick would love to take my order

He works at the coffee shop just up the street

He's happy and annoying with a smirk the size of Texas

He's my coffee enemy



Would you like a mochacino?

Or perhaps a cappucino?

Or maybe a frappucino?

Said Derrick wearing the chinos



All I really want is a cup of coffee

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

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

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

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

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)

Give me a friggin' cup of coffee



All I really want (3X)

Give me a friggin' cup of coffee, Derrick
