The Lyrics
A silly song for a change!!!
Do try to fill me up (fill me up) Starbucks, Grande!
Got to get Downtown (get Downtown) so don’t mess around
It’s gonna be a close call (a close call) I gotta roll, Grande!
I gotta get my fill (get my fill) so please don’t let spill
I need two (I need two) not just one, this mornin’
You know that I need caffeine to start
So fill me up (fill me up) Starbucks, jumpstart my heart
"Gotta be there by ten", boss told me time and again
If I’m late, I’ll get fired and then (blah, blah, blah)
I can‘t wait any more, I’m ready for my order
I owe you, love your coffee blends!
(Hey, hey, hey!) Grande! Grande! Right on time
(Hey, hey, hey!) Right on time, and a holder is fine
(Hey, hey, hey!) Pay and done
I'll be driving alone to the office fast-ZOOM!
Soo-oo-ooo, Goo-oo-ood
Do try to fill me up (fill me up) Starbucks, Grande!
Got to get Downtown (get Downtown) so don’t mess around
It’s gonna be a close call (a close call) I gotta roll, Grande!
I gotta get my fill (get my fill) so please don’t let spill
I need two (I need two) not just one, this mornin’
You know that I need caffeine to start
So fill me up (fill me up) Starbucks, jumpstart my heart
This coffee I enjoy, Boss enjoys it much more
But I gotta go you know (blah, blah, blah)
Got some work to do, I'm headed straight out the door
‘Cuz now I HAVE to go!!!
(Hey, hey, hey!) Grande! Grande! Right on time
(Hey, hey, hey!) Right on time, and a holder is fine
(Hey, hey, hey!) Pay and done
I'll be driving alone to the office fast-ZOOM!
Soo-oo-ooo, Goo-oo-ood
Do try to fill me up (fill me up) Starbucks, Grande!
Got to get Downtown (get Downtown) so don’t mess around
It’s gonna be a close call (a close call) I gotta roll, Grande!
I gotta get my fill (get my fill) so please don’t let spill
I need two (I need two) not just one, this mornin’
You know that I need caffeine to start
So fill me up (fill me up) Starbucks, jumpstart my heart
Got to get Downtown (get Downtown) so don’t mess around
It’s gonna be a close call (a close call) I gotta roll, Grande!
I gotta get my fill (get my fill) so please don’t let spill
I need two (I need two) not just one, this mornin’

You are right, this is a silly song! ;-D But one that is very well done too! 5's! :-)
Send some Starbucks my way, too, please! Thanks! 5/5/5.
Silliness may not be next to Godliness like cleanliness is, but I'm sure it's next to one of the other -linesses.
