Have Another Espresso Songtext
von Shel Silverstein

Now whenever life looks dark and mean
I have myself an espresso
And then I sorta sit back man and like dig the scene
Maybe have myself another espresso
And you know there′s a chick in the coffee shop
Who's caught my eye
But she never talks to me when I fall by
So I sit there and I cool it and I′m oh so sly
And I have myself another espresso

Now last night I decided to do the thing
As I had myself another espresso
And I asked that chick like would she care to swing
As I had myself another espresso
And she said baby like that's cool with me
But like man I can't split till half past three
So why don′t you just sit down and cool it and like wait for me
And maybe have yourself another espresso


You know I never cared much for formal dates
I just sit and have myself an espresso man you know
But like man if a chick is a groove then baby you gotta wait
And maybe have yourself another espresso

Yeah so like I took off my coat man and I hung up my hat
And for the next five hours right there I sat
You know that chick went home with some other cat
So I have myself another espresso

Now the moral of this story I′ll tell you man
As I have myself another espresso
It's always follow the ways of Zen
And have yourself another espresso
And whenever life has got you way uptight
Why baby just sit back and groove until everything′s right
'Cause you know I met another chick that very night
And we uh we uh we uh well
As a matter of fact I guess we just sat around and
Had another espresso
