Drink Your Coffee Black
I’m telling you it’s much too cold out, honey.
It seems like you don’t give a hoot about me.
Is it really important you need cream for your coffee?
The snow that’s fallen is quite deep. Can’t you see?
Why can’t you do like me and drink your coffee black?
It’s cold enough out there to give me a heart attack.
We are going through a whopper of a cold spell.
Not only is it cold, it’s also windy as hell.
I take one step outside, and I will instantly freeze.
Besides, black coffee has far fewer calories.
