[Verse 1] Papa needs coffee blonde bedhead, bad mood Mama’s laughing hard folded in two Kids at the table tea in their hands Halley says softly “give my apple a cat” Ambrose in the tub Mac and cheese sky-high took the whole bowl in there with a spoon and a sigh Elijah keeps pouring cup after cup Caleb stirs sugar then stirs it up [Pre-Chorus] Butterknives glinting apples on plates Amarylla runs circles back and forth, away Papa checks the clock then he checks his face he needs that first cup right now, right now [Chorus] Papa needs coffee coffee, coffee, coffee Papa needs coffee wake him up, wake him up Papa needs coffee coffee, coffee, coffee Oh why oh why? Get the mug, get the mug [Verse 2] A kitty-faced apple a grin in the peel Mama near collapses can’t handle the deal Bathwater and noodles steam on the glass Mac and cheese kingdom ruled by a splash Tea rings on the counter crumbs in a row Papa in the doorway moving so slow Hair like a haystack frown like a storm one cup of wakeup juice and he’s nearly warm [Pre-Chorus] Butterknives glinting apples on plates Amarylla runs circles back and forth, away Papa checks the clock then he checks his face he needs that first cup right now, right now [Chorus] Papa needs coffee coffee, coffee, coffee Papa needs coffee wake him up, wake him up Papa needs coffee coffee, coffee, coffee Oh why oh why? Get the mug, get the mug [Bridge] Mama wipes her eyes still laughing at the scene Halley shows her kitty made from apple green Ambrose in the bathtub king of the foam Elijah with the teapot Caleb with the dome Then Papa takes a sip and the whole room sings one small cup of magic fixes everything [Chorus] Papa needs coffee coffee, coffee, coffee Papa needs coffee wake him up, wake him up Papa needs coffee coffee, coffee, coffee Oh why oh why? Get the mug, get the mug
