Folk and Traditional Song Lyrics:
Id Rather Make Coffee Than Love

I'd Rather Make Coffee Than Love

I'd Rather Make Coffee Than Love

Tho he brought her sweet candy, a flower, a dove
 She preferred making pots of hot coffee to love.
 Though from Everest he plucked her a star from above
 She preferred making coffee to love.

cho:  And her outspoken credo was "Damn the libido!"
      I'd rather make coffee than love."

 She would even brew scrapings from overdone toast
 She would open her arms to Sumatran French Roast
 Her cafe au lait was the lait she loved most
 "I'm Queen of the Bean," was her boast.

 He'd have given her Cuba for one litle kiss
 A Vesuvio brewer, accounts with the Swiss
 When he married her, thinking that thus he'd find bliss
 She preferred making coffee to love.
