There's a table in the kitchen
It's open for business
Soothing wounds and playing spoons and such
It started way back in their childhood
Gathered round when they could
Sweet smells of labor and love
Coffee and cake
Just like their mother made
Sit a spell. There're stories to tell
You laugh until you cry
Oh it's the birthplace of all your memories
Pour out all your miseries
Dry your eyes and soak up the advice
With coffee and cake
It don't need no open sign
It's 24/7 time
Come on in and make yourself at home
Oh there's a dim light that we keep
'Cause none of us can sleep
Pull up a chair, go ahead and have you some
Coffee and cake
Just like their mother made
Sit a spell. There're stories to tell
You laugh until you cry
It's the birthplace of all your memories
Pour out all your miseries
Dry your eyes and soak up the advice
With coffee and cake
Grounds are perculating
Batter is a baking
Warming up your soul
Sugar don't get old
Do as you're told
Grab some
Coffee and cake
Coffee and cake
Just like their mother made
Sit a spell. There're stories to tell
You laugh until you cry
Oh it's the birthplace of all your memories
Pour out all your miseries
Dry your eyes and soak up the advice
With coffee and cake
Cold oven pound cake
Hot cup of joe
Old fashioned crumb cake
Folgers in your cup
