Lyrics

Black coffee is my name
(Ooh)
Black coffee is not a thing
(Black coffee)
Black coffee, freshly ground and fully packed
(Ooh)
Hot black coffee, boys
(Black coffee)
Mmm that's where it's at, mean it
Way back yonder, well, I don't know when
See I got hungover before I was ten
You see my skin is white but my soul is black
And a hot black coffee, that's where it's at
(Black coffee)
That's what I'm talkin' about
(Black coffee)
(Black coffee)
Ooh, you've got to feel it in the air
(Black coffee)
(Black coffee)
Well you hear that
Some black tea, it can't compare with me
(Can't compare with me)
Black tea, well it's as, It's as good as, it's as good as it can be
(Ooh)
But it's a cup of black coffee that a working man needs to see, yeah
Here in America, well it's the land of the free
(Whoo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
You can get what you want if you've got some do re me
(Whoo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
And I got me a job and I'm workin' like a slave
(Whoo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Now I'm independent, and you know I get paid
(Whoo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
See I got me a man and I got me a little place
(Whoo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
I got a spit of black coffee, oh, and how good it tastes
(Whoo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
I said a dime is all it costs in the States
(Whoo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
But it's a cup of black coffee, and how good it tastes
(Whoo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Black coffee)
Alright
(Black coffee)
Oh
(Black coffee)
That's what I want, That's what I need
(Black coffee)
That's where it's at, that's where it's at
Ooh, that's what I need
(Black coffee)
That's what I want, That's what I need
A black coffee
(Black coffee)
That's what I want, That's what I need
(Black coffee)
(That's where it's at, that's where it's at)
That's what I'm talking about, that's what I'm talking about child
(Black coffee)
(That's what I want, That's what I need)
A black coffee
A black coffe, child
(Black coffee)
That's where it's at, that's where it's at
(Black coffee)
(That's what I want, That's what I need)
Just like my soul, just like my soul
Black coffee
(Black coffee)
That's what I want, That's what I need
That's where it's at, that's where it's at
Black coffee
(Black coffee)
Oh, come child, child, child, child
