Lyrics
love coffee, I love tea
I love the Java Jive and it loves me
Coffee and tea and the java and me
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup
I love java, sweet and hot
Whoops, Mr.Moto, I'm a coffee pot!
Shoot me the pot and I'll pour me a shot
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup
Oh, slip me a slug from that wonderful mug
And I'll cut a rug till I'm snug in a jug
A slice of onion and a raw one
Draw one
Waiter, waiter, percolator
I love coffee, I love tea
I love the Java Jive and it loves me
Coffee and tea and the java and me
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup
Boston bean, soy beans
I said a 'lil ity bity green bean
Cabbage and greens
You know that I'm not keen about a bean
Unless it is a chili chili bean
Talk it, boy
I love java, sweet and hot
Whoops, Mr.Moto, I'm a coffee pot!
You shoot me the pot and I'll pour me a shot
A cup, a cup, a cup Slip me a slug from that wonderful mug
And I'll cut a rug that's snug in a jug
Drop your nickel in my pot, Joe
Takin' it slow
Waiter, waiter, percolator
I love coffee, I love tea
I love the Java Jive and it loves me
Coffee and tea and the java and me
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, boy
