Lyrics

(Verse 1)
Woke up this morning, thought I'd be fine,
But my brain's still foggy, can't walk a straight line.
The sun's up shining, birds are singing a tune,
But my eyes are half-closed, feels like midnight at noon.
(Chorus)
There’s not enough coffee in this whole wide world,
To get me through the day without my head in a whirl.
From the first cup to the last, I’m still draggin’ my feet,
There’s not enough coffee, not enough coffee, no way to compete.
(Verse 2)
At the office by nine, but I’m far from awake,
I need a caffeine IV, for heaven’s sake.
Coworkers are chirpy, chatting away,
But I’m just a zombie, tryin’ to survive the day.
(Chorus)
There’s not enough coffee in this whole wide world,
To get me through the day without my head in a whirl.
From the first cup to the last, I’m still draggin’ my feet,
There’s not enough coffee, not enough coffee, no way to compete.
(Verse 3)
The barista knows me, I’m a regular guy,
Double shot espresso, and still I ask, "Why?"
Why can’t I wake up, why can’t I feel bright?
I’m still yawning wide open, long into the night.
(Chorus)
There’s not enough coffee in this whole wide world,
To get me through the day without my head in a whirl.
From the first cup to the last, I’m still draggin’ my feet,
There’s not enough coffee, not enough coffee, no way to compete.
(Verse 4)
Saturdays and Sundays, I brew a big pot,
Still can’t shake off this sleepy robot.
Maybe it's magic, maybe it’s fate,
But there’s never enough to get my mind straight.
(Chorus)
There’s not enough coffee in this whole wide world,
To get me through the day without my head in a whirl.
From the first cup to the last, I’m still draggin’ my feet,
There’s not enough coffee, not enough coffee, no way to compete.
(Bridge)
Espresso, latte, cappuccino shots,
Tried ‘em all, but I’m still in knots.
They say decaf’s the way, but that’s a cruel joke,
Without my caffeine fix, I’m just a slowpoke.
(Chorus)
There’s not enough coffee in this whole wide world,
To get me through the day without my head in a whirl.
From the first cup to the last, I’m still draggin’ my feet,
There’s not enough coffee, not enough coffee, no way to compete.
(Outro)
So here’s to the java, the joe, and the brew,
To the endless refills that see me through.
But no matter how much, it’s never enough,
Life without coffee, well, it’s just too tough.

Love the caffeine energy of this one!

Big mood! I saw the title and was like “I have to listen to this!” I’m really enjoying the bouncy and light accompaniment and rapid fire delivery on that Bridge and the outro. The percussion is initially barely present, and I like that you waited until the first minute to have it come in harder. It builds the arrangement nicely. And that little piano riff at the end. Delightful!

Fun and bouncy and definitely an earworm! I can definitely empathise on some days…

The written words on the page have a special bounce to them and the music you've created takes that bounce to yet a higher level. I have to admit that making my morning coffee is a personal priority, but I'm not alert enough pre-coffee to match this song's energy.
