CUPPA JAVA THE SIZE OF MY HEAD
As recorded by Dan "Daddy Squeeze" Newton on "Hi-Top Sneakers" (2008)

Early in the morning when I open my eyes,
Only one thing that's on my mind.
Only one thing get me out o' my bed:
A strong cup o' java 'bout the size o' my head.

Yeah, my hands are always shaky and my hair is a mess.
My mind's a bit hazy. I can't even get dressed.
Only one thing that'll see me through:
A big black pot o' that dark French brew.

Grind the beans. Let it drip.
Dark French roast, take a sip.

You can have your eggs and your orange juice
Your tea an' your toast. I got no use.
Only one thing, that's what I said:
I want a strong cup o' java 'bout the size o' my head.

Well, if you see me lookin' sick or maybe actin' ill,
Don't you call me no doctor, don't you gi' me no pill.
Only one thing that'll remedy me.
A great big black hot pot o' caffeine.

Grind the beans. Let it drip.
Dark French roast, take a sip.

You can tell the doctor that his work is through.
Tell the undertaker I don’t want him, too.
Only one thing, that's what I said:
I want a strong cup o' java 'bout the size o' my head.

Make it dark; make it strong.
Make it so that it keeps me up, mama, all night long.
Black is beautiful; mmm, black is good.
Grind the beans; yeah, mama, wish you would.

You can have your wine and your old home brew.
You can keep your gin and your tonic, too.
Only thing I want, that's what I said:
I want a strong cup o' java 'bout the size o' my head.
I want a strong cup o' java 'bout the size o' my head.
