-- Coffee in a Cardboard Cup:

 The trouble with the world today, it seems to me,

Is coffee in a cardboard cup.

The trouble with the affluent society

Is coffee in a cardboard cup.

No one's ever casual and nonchalant,

No one waits a minute in a restaurant,

No one wants a waitress passing pleasantries

Like "How're you, Miss?"

"How're you, Sir?"

"May I take your order please?"

The trouble with the world today is plain to see,

Is everything is hurry up.
