 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 chickory                
                                                      
 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 alot 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 ...
