[v1]

I wake up in a stupor each day,

Drag myself to the office anyway.

Make coffee, but nobody drinks it but me.

The aroma starts to bring me around,

Picks me up when I'm still feeling down.

I love the stuff, but nobody drinks it but me.

[v2]

Snicker doodle, or plain old dark roast,

With a cupcake, or a piece of wheat toast,

I need the jolt, but nobody drinks it but me.

Can't stand to let a whole pot go to waste,

But no one else can appreciate the taste,

So I suck it down, cause nobody drinks it but me.

[CHORUS]

Why don't I like tea?

Or things caffeine free?

Why can't the office drink coffee with me?

Those tea-sipping freaks,

And energy drink geeks,

All think that my coffee just reeks.

[v3]

I make a whole pot and drink it alone,

But by midmorning, I'm jazzed to the bone.

That's way too much, but nobody drinks it but me.

Noontime crash, put another pot on,

Drinking coffee and buzzed all day long.

I'm off the walls, and nobody drinks it but me.

[CHORUS]

Why don't I like tea?

Or things caffeine free?

Why can't the office drink coffee with me?

Those tea-sipping freaks,

And energy drink geeks,

All think that my coffee just reeks.

[v4]

Quitting time, out the door like a flash,

I've got to get home before I crash.

One cup for the road, cause nobody drinks it but me.

One day, I'll drink coffee "hand free",

More directly through an IV.

It's Java time, but nobody drinks it...

Nobody drinks it...

I love coffee, but nobody drinks it...

...but me...ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Voice-over: ("What, is that the alarm already? My head just hit the pillow!")
