Nazareth Java Blues lyrics

I walked into a diner and the blondie behind the counter
She asked if she could help in any way
Hell, I knew by her smile, her number I could dial
If I was in the need of company

But as I bought some java
Instead she brought me a cup of chicory

I got those java blues
Coffee's got me java blues
Oh coffee, coffee, coffee
Java blues, the coffee's got me
Java blues, oh, coffee

You know that I'll stay high
I'll drink coffee till I die

Don't pour me water just fill up my cup
You know it takes a lot just to keep me up
Cost may be more than you care to pay
What good is money compared to fightin' pain

Don't try to cheat, it's impossible to beat
The only pick me up that's here to stay

I got those java blues
Coffee's got me, java blues
Oh coffee, coffee, coffee
Java blues, oh coffee, oh coffee
Java blues, coffee's got me


You know that I'll stay high
I'll drink coffee till I die

The taste of lava is like a cocaine rush
Nobodys gonna stop me from drinkin' too much
Down in Bolivia the people are insane
They want as much for coffee as they do for cocaine

Don't try to cheat, it's impossible to beat
The only pick me up that's here to stay

I got those java blues
Coffee's got me java blues
Oh coffee, coffee, coffee
Java blues the coffee's got me now with those
Java blues, oh coffee, coffee

You know that I'll stay high
I'll drink coffee till I die

I got the java blues
Oh coffee, coffee, java blues
Oh coffee, coffee, coffee
Java blues, oh, the coffee's got me
Java blues, oh coffee, oh coffee

Java blues
