HOT COFFEE IN A PAPER CUP

 

When I was younger

Bursting out of bed with that energy

I was like "sugar and milk, ma!  sugar and milk, ma!"

Then I got older

I'm not sure how, but it's happening to me

Sitting here on this stage

Thinking 'bout when I was younger

Running down the sidewalk

Running full speed down the end of the street saying

"Come on boys, we're all digging to China"

 

Oh, but now I'm older, brighter, wise beyond my years

'Least I feel that way when I got my hot coffee in a paper cup

 

Burning my lip!

May catch a fit if I don't take a sip

But I've got that cold, cold cream to smooth it out some

Spoon full of sugar, spoon full of sugar

Help that medicine go down

Stick in the mud and now I'm watching the suds

Spin around and around and around around around around

Running down the sidewalk

Bah, I missed my bus

But now the 219 ain't the only thing

That I'm waiting on to come pick me up

 

'Cause I'm older, brighter, wise beyond my years

'Least I feel that way when I got my hot coffee in a paper cup

 

Running down the sidewalk

Running full speed down the end of the street

But now the 219, well ain't the only thing

That I'm waiting on to come pick me up

 

'Cause I'm older, brighter, wise beyond my years

'Least I feel that way when I got my hot coffee in a paper cup

Oh! 'Least I feel that way when I got my hot coffee in a paper cup
