(The one thing you need)



Black coffee (ooh) is my name

Black coffee (black coffee) ooh, is my thing

Black coffee (ooh) freshly ground and fully prepared

Black coffee, mmm that's where it's at



Way back you all know since I don't know when

See I got hungover before I was 10

You see my skin is white but my soul is black

And my hot black coffee, that's where it's at



(Black coffee) Oh, that's what I'm telling you now

(Black coffee) That's what I want, that's what I need

(Black coffee) Waow, yeah

(Black coffee) That's where it's at

Black tea, it's as black as it can be

Black tea (can't compare with me) that's right

Black tea (ooh) it's as good as, good as it can possibly be

But it's a cup of black coffee that a working man needs and I wanna tell ya



back in America, well it's the land of the free

You can get anything you want as long as you've got that do re me

Well I've travelled far and I work like a slave

Now I'm independent, and you know I get laid

I got me a job and I built me a place

I get that little black coffee, oh how good it tastes

I said a dime is all it costs back in the States

For a cup of black coffee oh how good it tastes



(Black coffee) Alright

(Black coffee) Ah yeah

(Black coffee) To soothe my soul, got to soothe my soul
