Topic: The Coffee Song

I am proud to say that I drink coffee, I have for a long time and I make the best coffee of anyone that I know. I can not for the life of me understand how so many people can learn so many great and wondrous things but still not learn how to make a good cup of coffee. So my song is dedicated to the many unfortunate souls who time and time again screw up a pot of coffee. I just wish it would stop happening at my place of employment. Please for the love of God listen to these words and take them to heart!!! I left out the fancy stuff like a pinch of salt to take out the acid if the coffee is like one of the major brands (good to the last drop comes to mind) but email me and I’ll give you those tips as well. Hope you like the song. And by the way, for those of you who disagree with me on how to make coffee, you’re wrong and need to get help.

The Coffee Song By Jeff Gilpin


July 2nd, 2007




Start slowly in the intro and speed up to about 130 bpm by the time you start the first verse(songs a bit caffeinated).




Intro


[A] [D] [E] [G]






Verse 1


Some [A]people drink their O J




Some have a cup of tea




Some drink cocoa or their Ovaltine


These [A7]drinks are not for me


In the [D]morning for me to wake up


Only one drink makes me [A]go


The sub[E]lime bean, that Caffine Dream!


I need my cup of [G]joe!






Chorus


I don't [D]need it watered down


That [A]don't taste good to me


I don't [E]need a cup of mud


I just want a [G]good cup of cof[A]fee






Verse 2


[A]Way back long ago




When I was just a boy




I'd get up for breakfast


All [A7]filled with morning joy


My [D]Dad had his cup


And it smelled pretty [A]good


Said [E]could I have a taste


He said taste it I [G]could






Chorus


I don't [D]need it watered down


That [A]don't taste good to me


I don't [E]need a cup of mud


I just want a [G]good cup of cof[A]fee






Verse 3


So [A]I had my first sip




And it tasted like crap




My Dad was cracking up


And spilled his [A7]coffee in his lap


So [D]after cleaning up


He toned a cup for me [A]down



He said [E]take a sip now


And that's when I went to [G]town






Chorus


I don't [D]need it watered down


That [A]don't taste good to me


I don't [E]need a cup of mud


I just want a [G]good cup of cof[A]fee






Verse 4


He [A]called it's chocolate milk




But I really didn't mind




It tasted great to me


And [A7]I was doing fine


That was [D]many years ago


But now I drink it [A]straight


Just so [E]long as it's brewed right


Bad coffee I'll not tole[G]rate






Chorus


I don't [D]need it watered down


That [A]dont taste good to me


I don't [E]need a cup of mud


I just want a [G]good cup of cof[A]fee






Verse 5


Now [A]here is what you do




To make the perfect pot




12 cold cups of water


If you [A7]are making a lot


[D]5/8 cup of good ground coffee


No more or no [A]less


Just [E]follow these rules


Or you're in for a coffee [G]mess






Chorus


I don't [D]need it watered down


That [A]don't taste good to me


I don't [E]need a cup of mud


I just want a [G]good cup of cof[A]fee[A7]






Ending Chorus


[D]That's how you make it


And [A]get it right every time


A [E]perfect cup is heaven


Anything [G]less just a [D]crime[E] [A7]

Re: The Coffee Song

Nice song Jets. I know a lot of people who gotta have their cup of Joe to start the day. Me I'll stick to the tea.Its early here so I'll "Badeye" it later when my wife makes her morning cup. Have a great day Jets.

Re: The Coffee Song

Dandy little ditty there Jeff - One of my small joys each day is seeing the little red light for the coffee timer on when I step into the kitchen.  Having the pot come on automatically and brew is just so neat - I know, I am obviously easily amused.

Re: The Coffee Song

Ji Jeff,

I just 'Badeyed' your song and I have decided that if you make such a good one I am coming over for a cup. How about it, got a pot on?

Re: The Coffee Song

Hey Badeye - Thanks, I like tea too but coffee is my first choice
Hey James - Thanks, I still have to make mine when I get up...tastes better to me that way
Hey Roger - THanks, Come on over and I'll brew a pot up for you.

Cheers,

JEff
