The Lyrics
Kind of confusin', all of their fusin'
Blended together it looks like oil
Love Frappuccino, topped with whipped cream-o
Beans grow on plants and plants grow in soil
Chorus:
Tastin' my life away at Starbucks coffeeville
Lookin' at the traffic on the street
There ain't no shame if you can't pronounce a name
"Mac-chi-at-to", now that is a feat
Don't know the reason I come here all season
Cold stuff and hot stuff, it's all a treat
Munch a biscotti, sip on a latte
They got alot of pastries to eat
Tastin' my life away at Starbucks coffeeville
Just attempting to enrapture my tongue
It ain't no shame if coffee beans are your game
As they say, better live while you're young
"Roast intonation", caffeine invasion
house blend, espresso, Italian roast
Komodo Dragon, taste buds are waggin'
Yukon is mellow, that is the boast
Tastin' my life away at Starbucks coffeeville
Lookin' for that fast jolt to the moon
Just see the line and smell the stuff that they grind
And like me, you'll be hooked very soon
Yes and some people say that caffeine gets in the way
But I know it helps me get through life
Blended together it looks like oil
Love Frappuccino, topped with whipped cream-o
Beans grow on plants and plants grow in soil
Chorus:
Tastin' my life away at Starbucks coffeeville
Lookin' at the traffic on the street
There ain't no shame if you can't pronounce a name
"Mac-chi-at-to", now that is a feat
Don't know the reason I come here all season
Cold stuff and hot stuff, it's all a treat
Munch a biscotti, sip on a latte
They got alot of pastries to eat
Tastin' my life away at Starbucks coffeeville
Just attempting to enrapture my tongue
It ain't no shame if coffee beans are your game
As they say, better live while you're young
"Roast intonation", caffeine invasion
house blend, espresso, Italian roast
Komodo Dragon, taste buds are waggin'
Yukon is mellow, that is the boast
Tastin' my life away at Starbucks coffeeville
Lookin' for that fast jolt to the moon
Just see the line and smell the stuff that they grind
And like me, you'll be hooked very soon
Yes and some people say that caffeine gets in the way
But I know it helps me get through life

555, cute and clever.
Better, coffee..than Margaritas...fine job-five cups

"The Daily Show's" Jon Stewart, as Dubya congratulated Brig. Gen. Randall Starbuck on his retirement, and the General became emotional: "Gen. Starbuck then cried over his failure to open a chain of overpriced coffee shops".
First verse ripped this chain well, then it sounds as though you became addicted after all? Five double-mocha-cappuccino-latte-whateverTF they serve, for Five bucks a throw.

fresh, breezy, sings itself..my favorite of the day
Well, I found adequate grounds to give you "5's" on this one, Royce ~ ~ ~ HEY, Internal Rhyming in my comment ~ ~ ~
Starbucks sucks, but this parody is very good. 555
I must be the last person in America to have never been in a Starbucks...but 555 for a fine job here
Dee, when you're feeling like you want a pick-up, I think Starbucks does a pretty good job of lifting one's spirits-at least the ones around here are good. It's not something I can afford every day, but I hope you go in one and check it out sometime. Thanks to all for the comments.
Can't stand coffee, Love Jimmy Buffett this parody left me in the middle "grounds".... 5-5-5 cups of coffee!!!
WOW ROYCE! WHAT A GREAT FREAKIN' PARODY! I TOTALLY LOVED IT! AND I'M NOT EVEN A STARBUCKS FAN! FIVE DOUBLESHOTS!
Royce, a little while ago a friend and I were laughing about how much time I spent at this site. I made a remark that suddenly turned into a "Margaritaville" parody, and it was submitted a bit ago. I came back here and suddenly realized that I had seen this parody 13 long hours ago, as per comment posted. Mine is unrelated in topic, but if there was any subconscious inspiration as to choice of OS, I thank you.
Sorry, Royce. I didn't mean to shout. You know how it gets. The only drug I abuse is caffeine, and I had a minor overdose there.
Had a bit of trouble singing the choruses, but that might be because I didn't get my normal fill of coffee today. Haven't been to a Starbucks in a while, but they do have good coffee.
Also never been to a Starbucks before, but 555 Frappachino Mochachino Cappuchinos!
