Hmmm...

Come to think of it, I should also add another of Peter Cape's songs that may well have been penned in (or about) Monde Marie (this one sung by Peter, himself):

Coffee-bar Blues
Words & Music: Peter Cape

I sit and watch my baby work a coffee machine
Drinkin' café negro 'til my face turns green
I want to hold my baby but the counter's in between
I got the low-light coffee-bar blues

Cappuccino, café negro - all the whole night through
Cappuccino, café negro - What's a man to do?
My baby sells me coffee
But that's all she'll do

Last night I saw my baby in a lovely dream
Stretch her tender arms out through a cloud of steam
Reaching for the handle of her café creme!
I got the low-light coffee-bar blues

Cappuccino, café negro - all the whole night through
Cappuccino, café negro - What's a man to do?
My baby sells me coffee
But that's all she'll do

My baby puts her apron on at half past ten
Pulls espressos until two, and then takes it off again
Is it love that keeps me wakeful, or just caffeine?
I got the low-light coffee-bar blues

Cappuccino, café negro - all the whole night through
Cappuccino, café negro - What's a man to do?
My baby sells me coffee
But that's all she'll do

I been looking at my baby now for half a year
The coffee I've been drinking's got me feeling queer
If baby doesn't love me soon I'll switch to beer
I got those low-light coffee-bar blues

Cappuccino, café negro, café latté, and more
With chocolate, and cinnamon, and froth to the floor
Long black, short black, two flat whites
I got the low-light coffee-bar blues

From An Ordinary Joker - the life and songs of Peter Cape,
