Java Jive

Words by Milton Drake, melody by Ben Oakland
Rise Up Singing chapter: Golden Oldies, p.80
Rise Up Singing had it in D, but we transposed it to G for singing purposes. Just subtract 2.5 steps from each chord if you want it in D.

I love coffee, I love tea
I love the java jive and it loves me
Coffee and tea and the jivin' and me
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup!

Whoops! Mr. Moto, I'm a coffee pot
Shoot me the pot and I'll pour me a shot
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup!

Oh, slip me a slug from the wonderful mug
And I cut a rug till I'm snug in a jug
A slice of onion and a raw one, draw one
Waiter, waiter, percolator!

Green beans, cabbage and greens

Unless it is a chili, chili bean, boys*
