COFFEE SHOP SONG 
© 2008 by David Llewellyn & Ida Kristin

Since these two started acting up
I ain’t sold a single cup
And empty seats don’t make a living wage
I can’t take this tit for tat
Cause when I get home, I get enough of that
Their fighting’s gone and emptied out this place . . . with their

Chorus
Will you just let me finish with what I’m saying
You’re not listening to a word I’m saying
Well what the hell do you really want from me?
Why is everything all about you
I bend over backwards and for what
Don’t you give me that . . . you’re full of it

Was the meal okay? You’re done I reckon
Can I take those plates before you break them
We wouldn’t want no flying crockery
For what it’s worth, you act like children
You rant and rage and never listen
We’ve had enough, it’s time for you to leave . . .

Chorus
Well I can’t believe what that waitress just told me
Oh what a bitch. Yeah what a floozy
With legs like that I wouldn’t wear that skirt
No her legs are quite nice. trust you to notice
Oh come on baby, now let’s not go there
You know I love you. Hey don’t give me all that crap

Chorus
Will you just let me finish with what I’m saying
All that sweet talk drives me crazy
Well what the hell do you really want from me?
Why is everything all about you?
I bend over backwards and for what?
Don’t you give me that . . . I’m done with it!
