The K-Cup Blues

Verse 1
Well, the sun’s peeking in, but I’m stuck in low gear,
Chores all lined up, but I ain’t moving near.
I’m staring at the list, priority one,
But without dark coffee, nothing’s getting done.
My old bones creak like a rusty screen door,
Need one K-Cup, maybe two or three more.
Chorus
I’ve got them K-Cup Blues, staring at the news,
Whoopi and Joey got too many views.
The world’s gone crazy, prices out of sight,
But French Vanilla’s gonna make it all right.
Pour me a cup before I lose my mind,
Leave that crazy old world behind.
Verse 2
The dogs are up, hunting for a treat,
I say, “Manners first, boys, let me find my feet.”
They’re ready for the yard while the brew runs fast,
I grab my cane, hoping caffeine lasts.
Leashes on, we’re out in the chill,
They’re tugging and pulling with wild-dog will.
Sniffing and scratching for their favorite spot,
Thank heaven people don’t behave like that lot!
Verse 3
Jenny Craig meals are trying their best,
But a chocolate cupcake puts ’em to the test.
With Breakfast Blend kicking, I’m feeling my flaws,
My thighs start clapping and breaking the laws.
Then the phone rings with a sales-pitch twitch,
“Extended warranty?” Man, what a glitch.
That car’s in the scrapyard, tucked into bed,
I’m a dollar short and a day late instead.
Chorus
I’ve got them K-Cup Blues, staring at the news,
Whoopi and Joey got too many views.
The world’s gone crazy, prices out of sight,
But French Vanilla’s gonna make it all right.
Pour me a cup before I lose my mind,
Leave that crazy old world behind.
Bridge
Aaron Rodgers is talking, stay or go?
J-Lo’s got jeans she’s ready to show.
Gas is too high for a Dunkin’ run,
So I’ll haunt my kitchen till the morning’s done.
Outro
Doctor says tea is the gentle way home,
So I sip chamomile when the night winds roam.
Milk in the mug and a sleepy-time blend,
Till tomorrow morning starts it again…
With them K-Cup Blues,
Yeah, them K-Cup Blues.
