Forty Cups of Coffee Songtext

von Bill Haley

Pace the floor, stop and stare
I drink a cup of coffee
Start to pulling out my hair

I drink forty cups of coffee
Forty cups of coffee
Forty cups of coffee
Waiting for you to come home

A quarter to twelve
And you're still not in
The way you run around
Is a doggone sin

I drink forty cups of coffee
Forty cups of coffee
Forty cups of coffee
Waiting for you to come home

Forty cups of coffee
Forty cups of coffee
Forty cups of coffee

A quarter to three
I start watching the clock
The phone won't ring
So I'm waiting for your knock

I drink forty cups of coffee
Forty cups of coffee
Forty cups of coffee
Waiting for you to come home

A quarter to four
You ain't got home yet
I try to be cool
And smoke a cigarette

I drink forty cups of coffee
Forty cups of coffee
Forty cups of coffee
Waiting for you to come home

You knock on the door
About a quarter to five
I wanna hug you and kiss you
And say thank God that you're alive

I drank forty cups of coffee
(Forty cups of coffee)
Forty cups of coffee
(Forty cups of coffee)
Forty cups of coffee
But I'm glad you finally came home
