A Few Stray Poems

Coffee Time - a Song*

Cof-fee ti-me, and th’ sippin’ is ea-sy,
My taste buds are a jumpin’,
And th’ ex-pec-tation is hi-igh,
So get up little ba-by, a-and fix me some cof-fee,
So I’ll be happy and I-I won’t cr-y.

Early in th’ mornin’, time ta rise ‘n sh-ine,
Got to have my coffee,
‘Fore on breakfast I dine,
So get up swe-ete ba-by, a-and fix me some cof-fee,
So I’ll be happy and I-I won’t cr-y.

E-ve-ry mornin’, I-I ri-se up singin’,
But ‘fore I can start ta goin’,
Got to have my - coffee time,
So get up, my-y-y ba-by, a-and fix me some cof-fee,
So I’ll be happy and I-I won’t pi-ine.

Cof-fee time, and th’ sippin’ is ea-sy,
My taste buds are a jumpin’,
And th’ ex-pec-tation is hi-igh,
So get up little ba-by, a-and fix me some cof-fee,
So I’ll be happy and I-I won’t cry-y.
