Please Allow ME, CQ: 
"Coffee in a Cardboard Cup":
THE TROUBLE WITH THE WORLD TODAY
IT SEEMS TO ME
IS COFFEE IN A CARDBOARD CUP.
THE TROUBLE WITH THE AFFLUENT SOCIETY
IS COFFEE IN A CARDBOARD CUP.
NO ONE`S EVER CASUAL AND NONCHALANT
NO ONE WASTES A MINUTE IN A RESTAURANT
NO ONE WANTS A WAITRESS PASSING PLEASANTRIES
LIKE `HIYA MISS, HIYA SIR
MAY I TAKE YOUR ORDER PLEASE?`
THE TROUBLE WITH THE WORLD TODAY
IT`S PLAIN TO SEE
IS EV`RYTHING IS HURRY UP!
IT`S `RUSH IT THROUGH.
DON`T BE SLOW.
B.L.T. ON RYE TO GO
AND COFFEE
I THINK SHE SAID
`COFFEE`
I KNOW SHE SAID
`COFFEE IN A CARDBOARD CUP.`
THE TROUBLE WITH THE HELTER SKELTER LIFE WE LEAD
IS COFFEE IN A CARDBOARD CUP.
THE TROUBLE
THE PSYCHOLOGISTS HAVE ALL AGREED
IS COFFEE IN A CARDBOARD CUP.
TELL ME WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE DREARIER
THAN SEABOARD FROM THE BELNORD CAFETERIA.
SEEMS TO ME A GENTLEMAN WOULD MUCH PREFER
AN `AFTERNOON!
HOW YOU BEEN?
WOULD YOU LIKE THE SPECIAL, SIR?`
THE TROUBLE WITH THE WORLD IS PLAIN TO SEE
IS EV`RYTHING IS HURRY UP.
THERE`S READY WHIP
INSTANT TEA
MINUTE RICE AND MY OH ME,
THERE`S `COFFEE`
I THINK SHE SAID
`COFFEE`
I KNOW SHE SAID
`COFFEE IN A CARDBOARD CUP.`
THE TROUBLE ITH THE WORLD TODAY
BEYOND A DOUBT
IS COFFEE IN A CARDBOARD CUP.
THE TROUBLE IS THE WAY
WE LIKE TO TAKE THINGS OUT
LIKE COFFEE IN A CARDBOARD CUP.
NO ONE KNOWS THE MEANING OF UTOPIA
IS DINING AT YOUR CONER CORNUCOPIA
SEEMS TO ME WE WOULDN`T BE
SUCH NERVOUS WRECKS
WITH `HELLO THERE.
BE RIGHT BACK.
WOULD YOU CARE FOR SEPARATE CHECKS?`
THE TROUBLE WITH THE WORLD TODAY
IT`S PLAIN TO SEE
IS EV`RYTHING IS HURRY UP:
IT`S ALL BECOME LOONEY TUNES
WITH SUGAR PACKS AND PLASTIC SPOONS
AND `COFFEE`
I THINK SHE SAID
`COFFEE`
I KNOW SHE SAID
`COFFEE`
I`M SURE SHE SAID
`COFFEE`
SHE MUST HAVE SAID
`COFFEE IN A CARDBOARD CUP.`

You're welcome, CQ. But are you somehow insuitating that I didn't have the song lyrics MEMORIZED and just posted them for you?

Just a small private note to Jailyard -
No, it's not wrong to want to procreate with Priest - god knows we could use more like him. The problem is, you'll have to stand at the back of what I'm sure is a VERY long line at this point!

Allow me to correct an often misquoted lyric:
"Tell me what could possibly be drearier,
than c-board from the Belnord Cafeteria?"
Not seaboard. It's 'c-board' as in cardboard.
"Gif me the cobra jool!"

Ha. Well, I don't know what I have done to deserve all this flattery, but thank you.
