Coffee Time
Natalie Cole · Other Songs - Natalie Cole
My dreamy friend, it's coffee time
Let's listen to some jazz and rhyme
And have a cup of coffee
Let me show
A little coffee house I know
Where all the new bohemians go
To have a cup of coffee
Greetin' time
The music box is beatin' time
It's good old fashioned meetin' time
So grab a chair and take me there
'Cause that's just the place I'm at
Coffee time
My dreamy friend, it's coffee time
Let's sing this silly little rhyme
And have a cup of coffee
Hey, greetin' time
That music box is beatin' time
It's good old fashioned meetin' time
So save me a chair, I'll see you there
'Cause that's just the place that I'm at
Coffee time
My dreamy friend, it's coffee time
Let's sing this silly little rhyme
And have a cup of coffee
We'll have a cup of coffee
Just a little bit of Java
Yeah, we'll have a couple of joke
Don't you know?
'Cause it's coffee time
