Nazareth - Java Blues

I walked into a diner And the blonde behind the counter She asked if she could help in any way Hell, I knew by her smile Her number I could dial If I was in the need of company But as I bought some Java Instead she brought me a cup of chicory I got those Java blues Coffee’s got me Java blues Oh coffee, coffee, coffee Java blues Coffee’s got me Java blues Oh coffee You know that I’ll stay high I’ll drink coffee ‘till I die Don’t pour me water just fill up my cup You know it takes a lot just to keep me up Cost may be more than you care to pay What good is money compared to fightin’ pain Don’t try to cheat It’s impossible to beat The only pick me up that’s here to stay I got those Java blues Coffee’s got me Java blues Oh coffee, coffee, coffee Java blues Oh coffee, oh coffee Java blues Coffee’s got me You know that I’ll stay high I’ll drink coffee ‘till I die The taste of Java is like a cocaine rush Nobody’s gonna stop me from drinkin’ too much Down in Bolivia the people are insane They want as much for coffee as they do for cocaine Don’t try to cheat It’s impossible to beat The only pick me up that’s here to stay I got those Java blues Coffee’s got me Java blues Oh coffee, coffee, coffee Java blues The coffee’s got me now.. Java blues Oh coffee, coffee You know that I’ll stay high I’ll drink coffee ‘till I die I got the Java blues Oh coffee, coffee Java blues Oh coffee, coffee, coffee Java blues Oh the coffee’s got me Java blues Oh coffee, oh coffee Java Blues!
