Lyrics

[Chorus]
I love coffee, I love tea
I love the java jive and it loves me
Coffee and tea and the java and me
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, boy
I love java, sweet and hot
Whoops, Mr. Moto, I'm a coffee pot
Shoot me the pot, and now pour me a shot
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup
[Verse 1]
Shoot me a slug from that wonderful mug, oh
I'll cut a rug like a bug in a jug
Slice of onion and a raw one, draw one
Waiter, waiter, percolator
[Chorus]
I love coffee, I love tea
I love the java jive and it loves me
Coffee and tea and the java and me
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup
[Verse 2]
Boston beans, soy beans
That's that fancy food, nobody eats that Stanley Morgan
Green beans, cabbage and greens
Sometimes, that sounds like home
I'm not keen for a bean
Soul food
Unless that is a cheery, cheery bean, boy
[Chorus]
I love coffee, I love tea
Lipton
I love the java jive and it loves me
Coffee and tea, java and me
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, yeah
I love java, sweet and hot
Oops, Mr. Moto, I'm a coffee pot
Shoot me the pot, now pour me a shot
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, boy, yeah
[Verse 3]
Shoot me a slug from that wonderful mug, oh
I'll cut a rug like a bug in a jug
Drop a nickel in the slot, Johnny, ching
Bring it up slow now
Waiter, waiter, percolator
[Chorus]
I love coffee, I love tea
I love the java jive and it loves me
Coffee and tea and the java and me
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, boy
