Versatility Is The Best Kinda’ Street
Lola didn’t like Cola
It gave her the burps something bad
Jimmy was the Cola guy and when he found out about Lola it made him sad
Lola’s fave was coffee and Jimmy wondered why
She would always smile and say something sly, “Coffee is like my type of guy – strong, bold and versatile, too”
Jimmy didn’t know what to do
He quit his job at the soda company and joined the Starbuck’s crew
Lola liked Jimmy just the way he was
But, since he now was a coffee man, he knew how to give her a buzz
“Gals that are his type were soft, sweet and with dancing feet”, Jimmy said
Lola replied, “How bout’ toasty toes in your bed?”
Cola couldn’t hold a candle to that certain kind of lovin’ ramble
Percolatin’ was the only way, Jimmy and Lola found out one day
Cuddling in a booth at the café, as they shared their first kiss they didn’t know what to say
Lola and Jimmy’s hearts were aflutter with the scent of coffee brewin’ in his kitchen the morning after
Nice to know a choice of a drink can bring a smile to your flow
Lola knew best, for it was coffee that had the ability to shake things up
Either on a Summer day with cubes of ice in a glass
Or, in the chill of Winter when the heat is something you want to last
Cola is a one-way street
Coffee is a versatile treat
