Quick One with Mr Coffee

from the ABC set Wild Black Curly Hair

So i was at Stratford rail station this morning
i was a bit hung over to tell you the truth
i wanted something to soothe my guinnessed soul

i've got to have
just had to have
some java palaver

now i was not having any of that Starbucks soup
or any of their clan

no way man

so
i goes a hunting
and i hunted for a while
because i've read
that people get killed
for the sake
of Costa Coffee

no style

just profit

and then
i spied this cat in a
mafia kitchen hat

i found my boy

his name
his name was
Mr Coffee
'He's so Frothy'

well that's what it said on the side of his van anyway

i can tell you
it was a very good espresso
the best i've have ever had
to tell a truth

Mr Coffee
for he is so frothy
then gave me this card
and then he stamped it

he said he'll do this stamping biz every time
i have his mocha moonshine
and once i reached twenty
i'll can have some free lingerie

yeah you heard right
lingerie

now i was a bit hung-over for sure
but not to the point of disgrace

i looked at him as if he were a crazy
he glared back like a blood brother

i am a man of my word
he said

in an accent far finer than mine

so i patted him on the back
pulled out a pack
offered one
which was taken
and thought of the young De Nero
in Mean Streets

and then i start thinking
as i'm puffing

now here me out here
i don't know why Mr Coffee
'He's so Frothy'
wants to give away free panties
with his creamy latte's

i might have been on very sticky ground if i asked

but i'll love him for it
i really do
and you know what
and so should you
If you are ever down
at Stratford station
In the morning

before the giants
of this greedy world
decaffeinate him
