Lyrics:
Black coffee is my name
Black coffee not a thing
Black coffee freshly ground and fully packed
Hot black coffee is where it's at

Way back yonder where I don't know when
See I got hungover before I was ten
You see my skin is white, but my soul is black
So hot black coffee, that's where it's at

Black coffee

Black tea, can't compare with me
Black tea, can't compare with me
Black tea, it's as good as it can be
But it's a cup of black coffee that a working man needs to see

Here in America, where it's the land of the free
You can get what you want if you got some dough re mi
Well time went by and I worked like a slave
I don't need to pander and you know I can lay
I got me a job and I got me a raise
I got a stack of black coffee
Oh how good it tastes
I'll say it, a dime is all it costs in the states
For a cup of black coffee and how good it tastes

Black coffee

That's what I want, that's what I need
That's where it's at, that's where it's at
