Twelve Cup Espresso Maker as performed by Leopard Zeppard

Well, one cup of coffee they say can be good for you —
If you're sluggish, it'll open up your glands!
But two cups of coffee are even better —
Just ignore the shaking in your hands...

chorus: I've got a twelve cup espresso maker!
I got it to share coffee with my friends —
So I'll grind some food beans from Costa Rica
— It's organic, I hope that makes amends

But a mug is not a cup, philosophically, it's three.
And three cups are what I usually need.
Though four cups will really get me going —
Sometimes it takes a fifth or a sixth!

chorus.

Now on cold days and lonely mornings
It takes seven cups to even get me yawning —
Eight cups will barely open up my eyes
Ready to down a ninth!
After ten cups you're getting pretty wired —
You'd go back to bed but you're too tired to be tired,
and your stomach churns with existential misery...
But eleven cups dissolves all anxiety!

chorus: I've got a twelve cup espresso maker!
I got it to share coffee with my friends —
So I'll grind some food beans from Costa Rica (Rica!)
It says it's organic ! I hope thats not pretend!

Well there's one more cup of coffee left in the pot,,,,
And I'd like to let it sit there and rot,,,,,
But if I drink it nowm or heat it up for later—
I'll drain dry my twelve cup espresso maker!

chorus: I've got a twelve cup espresso maker!
But there's no more coffee to share with my friends —
But I got a statsh of mocha flavored Sumatra —
So I'll grind up another twelve cups again!

I've got a twelve cup espresso maker!
There's so much coffee to share with my friends!
I'll grind some good beans imported from Java —
Call me same time, same place, tomorrow, again....

The End

about

leopard zeppard Tennessee

lofi b4 lofi "tender wonder" (1997) recorded on tascam eight track reflected a unique voice in acoustic pop.

two decades later "kinda thingy" collected versions of queer festival favorites such as "12cup espresso maker" and "carolanne woke up today (and she didn't want to go to work)"

heartfelt, intelligent, witty - step into the wonderful slightly off key world of leopard zeppard.
