Lyrics
Oh, yeah
[Instrumental]
Black coffee is my name
Black coffee is not a thing
Black coffee, freshly ground and fully packed
Hot black coffee, boys, mmm that's where it's at, mean it
Way back, you all know, I don't know when
See, I got hungover before I was ten
You see my skin is white but my soul is black
So hot black coffee, that's where it's at, alright
(Black coffee) That's what I'm talkin' about, boys
(Black coffee) That's what I mean
(Black coffee) Ooh, you've got to feel it in your hand
(Black coffee) Hmm, yeah
(Black coffee)
Well you hear that some black tea, well it can't compare with me
Black tea (Can't compare with me), that's right
Black tea, well it's as good as, it's as good as, it's as good as it can be
But it's a cup of black coffee that a working man needs to see, yeah
In America, where it's the land of the free
You can get what you want if you've got some do re mi
Well, traveling far and I work like a slave
Now I'm independent, and you know I get laid
I got me a job and I got me a place
I got a stack of black coffee, oh how good it tastes
I said a dime is all it costs in the States
For a cup of black coffee, how good it tastes
(Black coffee) Alright
(Black coffee) Oh, oh
(Black coffee) It's what I want now, it's what I need
(Black coffee) To suit my soul, to suit my soul now
(Black coffee) It's what I want, it's what I need
(Black coffee) It's where it's at, it's where it's at
(Black coffee) Oh, oh
(Black coffee)
