  Coffee Homeground

Down in the cellar,

You're getting into making poison,

You slipped some on the side,

Into my glass of wine,

And I don't want any coffee - homeground.



Offer me a chocolate,

No thank you, spoil diet, know your game!

But tell me just how come

The smell of bitter almonds?

It's a no-no to your coffee homeground.



Chorus:

        Picture of Crippin, lipstick-smeared,

        Torn wallpaper, have the walls got ears here?



        Well, you won't get me with your

        Belladonna - in the coffee.

        And you won't get with your arsenic,

        - in the pot of tea.

        And you won't get me in a hole to rot.

        (put me in a six foot plot).

        With your hemlock on the rocks.



Where are the plumbers, Who went a-missing

here on Monday?

There was a tall man,

With his companion,

And I bet you gave them coffee - homeground.

Well, maybe you are lonely,

And only want a little company,

But keep your recipes for the rats to eat

And may they rest in peace with coffee -

homeground.
