How did the coffee taste for you, Sir Bach?
In seventeen-and-thirty-four, was it
The same as now, or sweeter then indeed?
Just as you say, süße, I'm sure you're right.

But must I wonder? Yes I must: How now
Might Timmy's be when in compare to yours
Or maybe if St. Starbuck were compared
We'd know how well evolved our coffee were.
**
And while you stroke the chord on harpsichord again
And while your fingers tingle with caffeine
And while I listen here on MP3
And sip from my beloved cup o' joe...
**
Ah, but it's just our own addiction that
Would matter to us any time at all
And so comparing's not a thing we'll do
Because our loyalty's our habit, that is all.
