ODE TO COFFEE Published Hill Rag, Eskimo Pie, Coffee with Underwood Mistress of sacred love Sacred lady of desire You start my day Setting my heart on fire With your dark delicious brew And throughout the day Whenever the mean old blues come by You chase them away With your bitter {sweat} (sweet?) ambrosia{l brew} Every time I inhale your {witches brew} (witch's brew) I am filled with power, light and love And everything is al right Jack If only for a few fleeting minutes I love you oh coffee goddess In all your magical forms In the dark coffee of the dawning day In the sizzling coffee in the mid morning break In the afternoon siesta break And in the post dinner desert drink I love you my coffee mistress You are my refuge From this horrid world And you are my secret lover Never disappoint me, ever I've never had a bad cup Of that I can be sure Even the dismal coffee Served at Denny's at 3 am Is still sweat loving coffee Even the farmer brother's diner coffee Excites me and gets me going Asking for another cup of divine delight Coffee always is there It is always on and piping hot With hidden dark secrets Swirling in its liquid essence Coffee is my last vice My only legal vice left Coffee does not cheat on me It is always faithful, always true It does not turn on its friends And all it asks in return Is that you come back Cup after cup after cup A good cup of coffee Is a little bit of heaven In a cup of dark liquid hell Coffee is like a drug But a good drug that does what is should And never complains It does not get grouchy It does not hurt you It does not make you crazy But allows the muse to come out And play with it Coffee led to the American Revolution As patriots drank coffee To rebel against the aristocratic English tea Coffee started the London Stock market And started the gossips mills running Every great invention Was fed by coffee's sweat brew sweet allure All the great thinkers All the great leaders All were enslaved to coffee's magic Yeah I sing my praises Of the great glorious coffee lady Long may she continue To be my sweat companion Long may coffee continue To rule my heart And set my heart on fire I love thee Mistress coffee And sometimes I think You love me too
