Is Coffee Not Enough?

Skirmish: Not Enough Coffee (@scubed) Challenge: Descending ChordsLiner Notes
I remembered my time as a sleepy student a few years back.
Coffee is not a replacement for sleep, definitely!
Lyrics
Verse:
Is coffee a replacement for sleep?
Coffee’s bitter, hot, sometimes it’s sweet
But sleep, what a gift, so pleasant
This class has ruined that present
Is coffee enough to keep me standing?
How embarrassing to pass out in this building
filled with students as sleep deprived as I am
I’m bored to tears, but I’ll stay awake if I can
Chorus:
Coffee, save me from drifting away
Sleep is coming, please, please save the day
Oh, I’m falling asleep during this lecture
Coffee failed as a precautionary measure
Coffee, save me from drifting away
I gotta stay awake to get a passing grade
I’m falling asleep during this lecture
I can’t afford to redo this semester
Verse:
Is more coffee what I really need?
Don’t answer, I know what I really need and
what I need’s a billion in my bank account
so I don’t need to work after I graduate, now!
Chorus
Bridge:
Coffee, not enough coffee
Or is coffee not enough?
Coffee, not enough coffee
Yeah, coffee’s not enough
Staying awake is really tough
Coffee is not enough
Chorus
Coffee, not enough coffee
Or is coffee not enough?
