Coffee and Ciggarettes - Johnnie Ray, The Four Lads

Coffee and cigarettes are my only escape.

I got my cup of Joe, my pack of stokes,

And I’m on my way downtown to

Set up shop and sing my cares away.

So, won’t you sing with me,

'Cause it’s cold outside, and I’m feeling kinda lonely.

Friday nights are always the same in this town.

I’m looking up, but I’m feeling kind of down.

So, I’ll light this cigarette and smoke the night away,

And I’ll hope that Saturday will be the day

When everything feels okay.

Ba da da da da da da da da

Coffee and cigarettes are best when shared with you.

We’ll go to Waffle House or your Mom’s House,

And share a cup or two.

Yeah, I have friends, but they have friends,

And they have parties, and I’m so awkward.

So what do you say, just as friends, we see a movie

This weekend, alright?

Okay.

Friday nights are always the same in this town.

I’m looking up, but I’m feeling kind of down.

So, I’ll light this cigarette and smoke the night away,

And I’ll hope that Saturday will be the day

When everything feels okay.
