Black Cold Coffee lyrics

Captain midnight and Captain cruise

out on the ocean

like a storm of bad news

it took three monkeys in a plastic mac

to fit inside a paper sack



And they`re cooking up an alibi

cooking up some steam

out in the madness

somewhere in Orleans

they had a plan,

they had a plot

beggars and blues was all they got



Black cold coffee

black Irish soup

cold on a silver spoon

she`s dancing through hoops



Baby`s wishing on a wishing well

she`s moving up

and ringing her bell

can`t fly to heaven

on a persian rug

so put some coins in the old sailor mug



They travelled up together

from the coast

east of Aldgate

silently like ghosts

they had a scam,

they had a scheme

for drunks and bums counting beans



Black cold coffee

black Irish soup

cold on a silver spoon

she`s dancing through hoops



Solo



Black cold coffee

black Irish soup

cold on a silver spoon

she`s dancing through hoops
