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.
