Drinking strong coffee
In a real cup with milk and sugar
I mused on how we like our joe

Cappuccino, latte, mocha
Add soy, low fat, please make
Mine a double macchiato

In some cities, indies rule
Trident, Vics, Bookends, here
Baristas trained to swirl the froth
On top of this cup of caffeine cheer

But Starbucks has the lions share
In nice surroundings everywhere
A common java staple
Venti, Grande, Tall, heck I don't care

As long as the coffee's good
And it doesn't lead you broke

The aroma of a good roast
Can make you heady from the grind

Before the water's even added
It widens up the nose

Keep the beans growing and
The roasters hot
And the grinders on fine
Just give us the best you got

Cause we love our coffee
Black, white or frothy treat
It's a natural high to keep us going
And an excuse for a nice place to meet
