Forty Cups of Coffee (1957-4, TV show) Songtext
von Bill Haley and His Comets

Pace the floor, stop and stare
I drink a cup of coffee
Start to pulling out my hair

I drink forty cups of coffee
Waiting for you to come home

A quarter to twelve
And you′re still not in
The way you run around
Is a doggone sin


A quarter to three
I start watching the clock
The phone won't ring
So I′m waiting for your knock

A quarter to four
You ain't got home yet
I try to be cool
And smoke a cigarette

You knock on the door
About a quarter to five
I wanna hug you and kiss you
And say thank God that you're alive

I drank forty cups of coffee
(Forty cups of coffee)
(Forty cups of coffee)
But I′m glad you finally came home
