I love coffee, I love tea,
I love Java Jive and it loves me
Coffee and tea and the Java and me,
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup!

Slip me a slug from the wonderful mug
and I’ll cut a rug till I'm snug in the jug
A slice of onion and a raw one,
Draw one!
Waiter, waiter, percolator!

I love coffee, I love tea,
I love Java Jive and it loves me
Coffee and tea and the Java and me,
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup!
Boston beans (soy beans) Those reetie-vootie beans!
(cabbage n’ greens)
You know that I'm not keen about a bean, unless
it is a chili chili bean, boy.
I love coffee, I love tea,
I love Java Jive and it loves me
Coffee and tea and the Java and me,
A cup - a cup - a cup…

Blow me a slug from that wonderful mug
And I’ll cut a rug that’s snug in a jug
Drop a nickel in my pot – Joe
Takin’ it slow
Waiter, waiter percolator

I love coffee, I love tea,
I love Java Jive an’ it loves me
Coffee and tea and the Java and me,
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup - BOY!
