Description:
This is a new version of my tumi entry. I completed the first version so quickly that there were a few things I didn't get to do. Not to mention there were a few glaring errors that needed to be fixed. So here it is... you can find the old version Here!

I really had a blast doing this tune!

Lyrics:
9 to 5 has become 8 to 6
and there ain't nothin' left in my old bag of tricks

the clock is stuck and there's been budget cuts
you've got me strapped to this desk like I'm some kind of putz
And right now I'd even take a cup of chok full of nutz and that's nuts...

I want some coffee
I need some coffee

Don't you know that
Coffee is the only thing that gets me through the day
and its gone and its gone you've taken it all away
I'm trying hard to stay focused, I don't mean to freak out
but its wrong and its wrong to crunch numbers without - some coffee

You cut our coffee just to save a few bucks
It's not like we've been drinkin' the cafe deluxe

There's a little green light saying ready to brew
Now I'm looking around for a ground bean or two
And it's easy to see what the lack of caffeine will do

I want some coffee
I need some coffee

Don't you know
It doesn't really matter whether dripped, pressed or perked
let it flow, let it flow then we'll get overworked
You can grind it coarse or fine
You can roast it dark or green
Just make sure, just make sure that there's plenty caffeine

you've got me strapped to this desk like I'm some kind of putz
And right now I'd even take a cup of chok full of nutz and that's nuts...

I want some coffee
I need some coffee

Don't you know that
Coffee is the only thing that gets me through the day
and its gone and its gone you've taken it all away
I'm trying hard to stay focused, I don't mean to freak out
but its wrong and its wrong to crunch numbers without - some coffee

awesome! &mdash 04/28/05 - 09:22:48 PM
i gotta say, this is one of the best tracks i've heard
here. easily top three. way to go. one clunky vocal
spot on the "just make sure there's plenty caffine"
line, but other than that it was pretty spot on.

awesome! &mdash 04/28/05 - 09:31:39 PM
yep... you found it... I messed up that line. What makes it worse was that I
spent time to fix all the flubs in the first version and seemed to not only
create a new flub but also completely miss it until the tune was already
posted!!!!!! Ratz!!!
Thanks for your comments!

Great work &mdash 04/28/05 - 10:21:36 PM
I'm not a coffee drinker. However, there are some folks I
know who seem like they could use a coffee IV.
Anyway, solid performances and production. Very catchy.

really fun tune &mdash 05/03/05 - 07:55:05 PM
This is really nicely done.
Though I don't drink much real coffee. I think this is really
outstanding tune.

Folger's would be proud.

I like this song before &mdash 05/10/05 - 03:48:34 PM
and just like coffee, I still like it.

Cool song, instruments very well played and programmed,
and your vocals are really really good!

Man, I ALWAYS NEED SOME COFFEE! I need some NOW! I really liked your song about one of my favorite drinks. Great idea. Downloaded and on my hard drive. Thanks!

Clever stuff! &mdash 03/05/06 - 10:48:04 AM
I like the silliness of this tune. It reminds me of a song by the Busstop Hurricanes called Lab Rat. They have a rockabilly sound, but the cleverness of the lyrics is similar.
I'm not a musician, I just play one on my Mac. I strum rhythms on my guitar and fool around, mostly. Not very disciplined, but I keep myself amused and that's plenty.
I guess if I make enough of these comments I get to post my two shining achievements in GarageBand. Stay tuned.
Tom
