Not the 'Me' That You Normally See
Where would I be without all my cups of coffee?
Mired in a funk, completely at sea
In fact, I can tell you I would hardly be me
At least not the 'me' that you normally see
I'd be really mean without my dose of caffeine
The crankiest crank the world's ever seen
Why, I'd shout and I'd yell; I'd shout and I'd scream
At those whom I love, the loudest, it seems
I'd take credit for doing what I didn't do
At the slightest offense, I'd try to sue you
For all that you're worth, you stupid, dumb fool
As I cackle the cackle of the wickedest shrew
All this for lack of coffee, the drug I prefer
~ Without which, to reefer I might have to defer
