Lyrics
I love coffee, I love tea
I love the Java Jive and it loves me
Coffee and tea and the jivin’ and me
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup
I love java sweet and hot, whoops
Mister 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
So, slip me a slug from the wonderful mug
And I’ll cut, cut a rug till I’m snug in the jug
A slice of onion on 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 jivin’ and me
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup
Interlude
Boston bean, joy bean
Lima bean, string bean
I’m not keen for a bean
Unless it is a cheery coffee bean
I love coffee, I love tea
I love the Java Jive and it loves me
Coffee and tea and the jivin’ and me
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup
I love java sweet and hot, whoops
Mister 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
So, slip me a slug from the wonderful mug
And I’ll cut, cut a rug till I’m snug in the jug
A slice of onion on 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 jivin’ and me
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup
Java Jive, Java Jive, Java Jive
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup
