Lyrics The Manhattan Transfer

The Manhattan Transfer

Java Jive

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 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

And I'll cut a rug just snug in a jug

A sliced up 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

Boston bean (soy beans)

Green bean (cabbage and greens)

I'm not keen about a bean

Unless it is a chili chili bean (boy!)

I love java sweet and hot

Whoops Mr. Moto I'm a coffee pot (yeah)

Shoot me the pot and I'll pour me a shot

A cup, a cup, a cup (yeah)

Slip me a slug of the wonderful mug

'An I'll cut a rug just as snug in a jug

Drop a nickel in the pot Joe

Takin' it 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

A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, boy!
