Java Jive

Java Jive:



by The Ink Spots from 1940.

lyrics:
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 I'll pour me a shot
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup

Oh, slip me a slug from the wonderful mug
I'll cut a rug till I'm snug in a jug
A slice of onion and a raw one, draw one
Waiter, waiter, percolator

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

Ooh, Boston beans, soy beans
Green beans, cabbage and greens
I'm not keen of buying a bean
Unless it is a cheery, cheery bean boy

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, yeah

I love java, sweet and hot
Whoops, Mr. Moto, I'm a coffee pot
Shoot me the pot and I'll pour me a shot
A cup, a cup, a cup, yeah

Oh, trow me that slug from the wonderful mug
And I'll cut a rug till I'm snug in a jug
Drop a nickel in my pot, Joe, a take 'em slow
Waiter, waiter, percolator

I love coffee, I love tea
I love the java jive and it loves me
Coffee and tea and the java and me, yeah
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, bong
Check out the Tuesday gathering at Bleubeard and Elizabeth's blog, where we share beverage-related posts once a week.

This post has been scheduled in advance. I have a bad cough, congestion and achiness -seems to be a virus that's going around- and I feel terrible. Chances are I'm drinking hot, sweet tea (my beverage of choice when I'm puny). I'm probably piled up in bed or on the couch in front of a movie, and I won't be able to visit folks. Stay well, and I'll visit next week.

  1. HOW AWFUL. I'll link you and I KNOW people will understand that you can't stand, much less visit.

    As always, I'm amazed at the perfect song or movie or fine art you find that represents a drink. And I'll take mine with cream, no sugar, please!

    Thanks for sharing the Java Jive with us for T this Tuesday.
