Floating In My Coffee

(Ralph Covert -Waterdog Music / ASCAP)

7:35 AM some lady on the radio in my ear
I’m a zombie with the percolator on
And a Tuesday morning beard
I did a full double flip across my dog
And a kung fu chop on my alarm
And I staggered like a horror movie monster in the dark

Chorus:

Floating in my coffee
I’m a little white boat on a big black sea
Floating in my coffee -- give it to me

I slam a cup to meet my day
And another in the shower and another on the way
Four years in a state school
For an Yves St. Laurent prison suit
In the AC at my PC
I'm an SOB with a JOB
So I poured myself some hot black joe and
Started dialing the telephone

Chorus

At night I dream that Juan Valdez
Has Mrs Olson pinned to the bed
With a half-caf full-Nelson cappuccino love potion

I shake like Elvis “I gotta cut down, I gotta cut down”
And I don’t know why
But a donut with no joe is no donut at all
When I feel the sun at 5:15
I’m a caffeinated drum machine
I’m a Starbuck star
I’m a White Hen King
I’m a fuel injected coffee bean

Chorus

Give it to me...give it to me
