Ahhhhh... Coffee
If it ain't good enough to drink black, it ain't good enough to drink...
I share the following paean, cribbed from Making Light (all proper credit at the end).
Sweet Black Coffee Blues
I can drink it in the morning
I can drink it late at night
Your sweet black coffee, baby
Sure does taste just right
I can drink it in the bathtub
I can drink it on the Stairs
Your sweet black coffee, baby
I can drink it anywhere
Sweet Black Coffee, Sweet Black Coffee
I got the Sweet Black Coffee Blues
Well, you can keep your herbal teas
Your milkshakes and colas, too
The only beverage that I'll drink
Is sweet black coffee made by you
Well I like to sip it real slow
And roll it round my tongue
And when I've finished drinking
I've got to get me another one
Sweet Black Coffee, Sweet Black Coffee
I got the Sweet Black Coffee Blues
Your sweet black coffee, baby
It don't taste like any other
Even though you know I know
You got that recipe from your mother
Well I can drink it from a mug
Well I can drink it from a cup
I'll drink it off your body, baby
That coffee really gets me up
Sweet Black Coffee, Sweet Black Coffee
I got the Sweet Black Coffee Blues
You can cover it in whipped cream, baby
You can sprinkle on Chocolate too
I'll just spoon them out the way
To get to the coffee made by you
I drink it all the time girl
I can drink it by the pot
But if you ever run out, baby
I'll find someone else who serves it hot
Sweet Black Coffee, Sweet Black Coffee
I got the Sweet Black Coffee Blues

I'm truly honoured. Thank you.
As I mentioned on Making Light it was adapted from a thing I wrote for my acoustic blues trio, I think I may have to sing this version now.
Hello again, I'd almost forgotten this was here. I'm still honoured.
I've recorded a live version of the "Vanilla Pudding" version of this and left if on my myspace page:
The BluesBerries (you may notice we're a quintet now).
So if you were curious as to how it might sound, well now you can find out...
