THE TROUBLE WITH THE WORLD TODAY
IT SEEMS TO ME
IS COFFEE IN A CARDBOARD CUP.
THE TROUBLE WITH THE AFFLUENT SOCIETY
IS COFFEE IN A CARDBOARD CUP.
NO ONE`S EVER CASUAL AND NONCHALANT,
NO ONE WASTES A MINUTE IN A RESTAURANT,
NO ONE WANTS A WAITRESS PASSING PLEASANTRIES,
LIKE `HIYA MISS, HIYA SIR,
MAY I TAKE YOUR ORDER PLEASE?`
THE TROUBLE WITH THE WORLD TODAY,
IT`S PLAIN TO SEE
IS EV`RYTHING IS HURRY UP.
IT`S `RUSH IT THROUGH.
DON`T BE SLOW.
B.L.T. ON RYE TO GO,
AND COFFEE`
I THINK SHE SAID
`COFFEE`
I KNOW SHE SAID
`COFFEE IN A CARDBOARD CUP.`
THE TROUBLE WITH THE HELTER SKELTER LIFE WE LEAD
IS COFFEE IN A CARDBOARD CUP.
THE TROUBLE,
THE PSYCHOLOGISTS HAVE ALL AGREED,
IS COFFEE IN A CARDBOARD CUP.
TELL ME WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE DREARIER,
THAN SEABOARD FROM THE BELNORD CAFETERIA.
SEEMS TO ME A GENTLEMAN WOULD MUCH PREFER
AN `AFTERNOON!
HOW YOU BEEN?
WOULD YOU LIKE THE SPECIAL, SIR?`
THE TROUBLE WITH THE WORLD IS PLAIN TO SEE
IS EV`RYTHING IS HURRY UP.
THERE`S READY WHIP,
INSTANT TEA,
MINUTE RICE AND MY OH ME,
THERE`S `COFFEE`
I THINK SHE SAID
`COFFEE`
I KNOW SHE SAID
`COFFEE IN A CARDBOARD CUP.`
THE TROUBLE ITH THE WORLD TODAY
BEYOND A DOUBT
IS COFFEE IN A CARDBOARD CUP.
THE TROUBLE IS THE WAY
WE LIKE TO TAKE THINGS OUT
LIKE COFFEE IN A CARDBOARD CUP.
NO ONE KNOWS THE MEANING OF UTOPIA
IS DINING AT YOUR CONER CORNUCOPIA.
SEEMS TO ME WE WOULDN`T BE
SUCH NERVOUS WRECKS
WITH `HELLO THERE.
BE RIGHT BACK.
WOULD YOU CARE FOR SEPARATE CHECKS?`
THE TROUBLE WITH THE WORLD TODAY
IT`S PLAIN TO SEE
IS EV`RYTHING IS HURRY UP:
IT`S ALL BECOME LOONEY TUNES
WITH SUGAR PACKS AND PLASTIC SPOONS
AND `COFFEE`
I THINK SHE SAID
`COFFEE`
I KNOW SHE SAID
`COFFEE`
I`M SURE SHE SAID
`COFFEE`
SHE MUST HAVE SAID
`COFFEE IN A CARDBOARD CUP.`
(spoken):
HURRY UP!
