Allan Sherman - Makin' Coffee lyrics

rate me

Each weekday morning at 10:15

I see my favorite vending machine

It stands there waitin' and percolatin'

Just makin' coffee

The other morning at coffee time

I saddled over, put in my dime

I pushed the button but out came nothin'

I want my coffee

One button says with sugar

One button says with cream

Then there's a mystery button

It splashes your suit with steam

Then with an angle, one cup came down

I watched it dangle, it made me frown

I cried in vain there but down the drain there

Went all my coffee

Machine have downs, machines have ups

Next day one dime paid for eighteen cups

I just kept drinking, I stood there thinking

That's too much coffee

And that's not all that seems so strange

It also gave me 9 dollars change

I said that's funny, that's too much money

It said shut up and drink your coffee or I'll give you more steam

It can make more than coffee

It makes hot soup and tea

And if it really likes you

A mixture of all three

That poor machine, it went berserk

From coffee nerves and overwork

It's in a lump now in the city dump now

Still makin' coffee

Makin' coffee

Makin' coffee

Makin' coffee

Makin' coffee
