about

"Five O'clock Coffee" is the 9th and final episode of THE HOT TODDIES quarantine tracks! It is also our second original - a fun mid-tempo swing tune based on some real-life shenanigans of how to spice up a boring office job as the day drags on!

Our most ambitious remote recording to date, this track was done at the same time as "Dunkin Bagel" and features vocals & violin by Gabe Terracciano, plus backing vocals by Hannah Gill, Queen Esther, and Ron Wilkins (also on trombone), Gordon Webster on piano, plus the full band! Watch out for the wide digital release, & debut of our crazy music video.

Each member of the band recorded & videoed themselves separately, then was mixed and edited by Patrick Soluri / Prohibition Productions and mastered by Swan Studios NYC.

lyrics

FIVE O'CLOCK COFFEE
by Gabe Terracciano (2021)
-----------------------------------
Well I was getting through my daily grind, working at a dead-end job
I was tired, weary, exhausted…and my head was starting to throb
A friend of mine…called me up…said he had just what I’d need
Just a little something to clear my mind and ease my misery

5 O’clock Coffee! (5 O’clock Coffee!)
5 O’clock Coffee! (5 O’clock Coffee!)
5 O’clock Coffee! It’ll make you feel alright.

Well his promises caught me unawares, and I didn’t know what to say
I knew coffee well in the morning time, but not so much later in the day
I said man, come on! I don’t need caffeine, just a one-way trip to bed!
But he wouldn’t let up, said he had the stuff to help me keep my head.

5 O’clock Coffee! (5 O’clock Coffee!)
5 O’clock Coffee! (5 O’clock Coffee!)
5 O’clock Coffee! It’ll make you feel alright.

Well I finally relented, and I said ok, I’d come out and have some drip
Told myself I wouldn’t have that much, maybe just a little sip.
But when I met my friend that night, I didn’t see a pot or mug
Just the open doors to a swingin’ bar and folks drinking out of a jug

5 O’clock Coffee! (5 O’clock Coffee!)
5 O’clock Coffee! (5 O’clock Coffee!)
5 O’clock Coffee! It’ll make you feel alright.

Well I looked around, and heard the sound of people havin’ a ball
Ya know the Booze was flowin’, and I was knowin’ there wasn’t no coffee at all!
All of a sudden I was holding a glass that someone had filled with cheer
You know it only took one sip ‘til I was grinnin’ from ear to ear!

5 O’clock Coffee! (5 O’clock Coffee!)
5 O’clock Coffee! (5 O’clock Coffee!)
5 O’clock Coffee! It’ll make you feel alright.

5 O’clock Coffee! (5 O’clock Coffee!)
5 O’clock Coffee! (5 O’clock Coffee!)
5 O’clock Coffee! It’ll make you feel alright.
