Stopped by a diner and the blond behind the counter

Asked if she could help in any way

I could tell by her smile, her number I could dial

If I was in the need of company

I asked her for some Java

Instead she brought a cup of hickory

A taste of Java is like a volcanic rush

Nobody's gonna stop me from drinkin' too much

Costs many more than you care to pay

But money is nothin', compared to a fired up day

Don't try to cheat, it's impossible to beat

The only pick me up that's here to stay

Java Blues, coffee's got me

Java Blues, coffee, coffee, coffee

Java Blues, well, the coffee's got me

Java Blues, coffee, coffee, coffee

You know that I'll stay high

Drinkin' coffee till I die

Java blues

Won't you boil me water, fill up my cup?

You know it takes a lot to keep me up

Down in Bolivia the people are insane

They want as much for Java 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

Java Blues, coffee's got me

Java Blues, coffee, coffee, coffee

Java Blues, you don't know what it does to me

Java Blues, coffee, coffee, coffee

You know that I'll stay high

Drinkin' coffee till I die

Java Blues
