My fave…
\*Cigarettes And Coffee \*
It’s early in the morning
About a quarter to three
And I’m sittin’ here
Talking with my baby
Over cigarettes and coffee
Tell you I don’t feel so satisfied
Honey since I’ve met you
Baby since I met you
_ **Recorded by the Jerry Garcia Band for the soundtrack of the film “Smoke”…reportedly Jerry’s last recording.** _

Bach - [the Coffee Cantata](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keTwmdQakMc).
Ei! wie schmeckt der Coffee süße,
Ah! how sweet coffee tastes!
Lieblicher als tausend Küsse,
Lovelier than a thousand kisses,
Milder als Muskatenwein.
smoother than muscatel wine.
Coffee, Coffee muss ich haben,
Coffee, I must have coffee,
Und wenn jemand mich will laben,
and if anyone wants to give me a treat,
Ach, so schenkt mir Coffee ein!
ah!, just give me some coffee!
Translation from [this website](http://www.bach-cantatas.com/Texts/BWV211-Eng3.htm), where the lyrics can be found in their entirety.

[\*Coffee in a Cardboard Cup](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgz4uB4L6E8). \*Our chorus did this a couple of years ago . . . except that the entire chorus did it, including choreography. It brought the house down.
