Coffee in Bed

Words and Music by Tom Paxton

How´d you like your coffee in bed this morning?
How´d you like some sugar in your cup?
Fluff up your pillow, pull up the covers,
How´d you like to never get up?
We can unplug the telephone, honey,
And never turn the radio on.
How´d you like your coffee in bed this morning,
All morning long?

I don´t want to hear the babblin´ of the radio,
Telling us to rise and greet the dawn.
I don´t want the sunlight peekin´ ´round the curtains,
Saying, ‘Time to get your game face on.’
Wouldn´t it be crazy not to feel a little lazy,
When I´m lyin´ in the bed with you?
It´s not so surprising that the temperature is rising,
So, honey, here´s what we'll do…

Whoa, how´d you like your coffee in bed this morning?
How´d you like some sugar in your cup?
Fluff up your pillow, pull up the covers,
How´d you like to never get up?
We can unplug the telephone, honey,
And never turn the radio on.
How´d you like your coffee in bed this morning,
All morning long?

- Instrumental -

Would you like a cup of coffee?
I know you like it hot.
It´s the best in town,
If we drink it all down,
We can always make another pot.

Oh, how´d you like your coffee in bed this morning?
How´d you like some sugar in your cup?
Fluff up your pillow, pull up the covers,
How´d you like to never get up?
We can unplug the telephone, honey,
And never turn the radio on.
How´d you like your coffee in bed this morning,
All morning, all morning, all morning long?

Thanks to Jan for the transcription!
