I love coffee

And so did Johan Sebastian Bach, listen to his charming rendition of the last chorus of his Kaffee Kantata:

Bach's lyrics are so silly as to be nearly incomprehensible (especially when translated into English), but for the intrepid, here they are, in part.  

And if you like your coffee wonderfully sweetened, just listen to Natalie Cole singing a little bit of Coffee Time:


Here are the lyrics:
Coffee time
My dreamy friend
It's coffee time
Let's sing
This silly
Little rhyme
And have
A cup of coffee

Java time
My happy chum
Let's have a time
We'll celebrate
For just a dime
And have
A cup of coffee

Greetin' time
The music box
Is beatin' time
It's good
Old-fashioned
Meetin' time
We're in the pink
So come and clink
And let's drink
A cup of coffee

Coffee time
My dreamy friend
It's coffee time
Let's sing
This silly
Little rhyme
And have
A cup of coffee

Coffee time
My dreamy friend
It's coffee time
Let's sing
This silly
Little rhyme
And have
A cup of coffee
And have
A cup of coffee
And have
A cup of coffee

All of this makes me thirsty for my ritual morning brew: Starbucks Espresso Roast, made in my ancient-falling-apart-dearly-treasured macchinetta, poured into a cuppa hot milk for a real Puerto Rican-style café con leche. Not just a great way to start the day: it's the only way!
