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 WASTES A MINUTE IN A RESTAURANT,

NO ONE WANTS A WAITRESS PASSING PLEASANTRIES,

LIKE 'HIYA MISS, HIYA SIR,

MAY I TAKE YOUR ORDER PLEASE?'

THE TROUBLE WITH THE WORLD TODAY,

IT'S PLAIN TO SEE

IS EV'RYTHING IS HURRY UP.

IT'S 'RUSH IT THROUGH.

DON'T BE SLOW.

B.L.T. ON RYE TO GO,

AND COFFEE'

I THINK SHE SAID

'COFFEE'

I KNOW SHE SAID

'COFFEE IN A CARDBOARD CUP.'


THE TROUBLE WITH THE HELTER SKELTER LIFE WE LEAD

IS COFFEE IN A CARDBOARD CUP.

THE TROUBLE,

THE PSYCHOLOGISTS HAVE ALL AGREED,

IS COFFEE IN A CARDBOARD CUP.

TELL ME WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE DREARIER,

THAN SEABOARD FROM THE BELNORD CAFETERIA.

SEEMS TO ME A GENTLEMAN WOULD MUCH PREFER

AN 'AFTERNOON!

HOW YOU BEEN?

WOULD YOU LIKE THE SPECIAL, SIR?'

THE TROUBLE WITH THE WORLD IS PLAIN TO SEE

IS EV'RYTHING IS HURRY UP.

THERE'S READY WHIP,

INSTANT TEA,

MINUTE RICE AND MY OH ME,

THERE'S 'COFFEE'

I THINK SHE SAID

'COFFEE'

I KNOW SHE SAID

'COFFEE IN A CARDBOARD CUP.'


THE TROUBLE ITH THE WORLD TODAY

BEYOND A DOUBT

IS COFFEE IN A CARDBOARD CUP.

THE TROUBLE IS THE WAY

WE LIKE TO TAKE THINGS OUT

LIKE COFFEE IN A CARDBOARD CUP.

NO ONE KNOWS THE MEANING OF UTOPIA

IS DINING AT YOUR CONER CORNUCOPIA.

SEEMS TO ME WE WOULDN'T BE

SUCH NERVOUS WRECKS

WITH 'HELLO THERE.

BE RIGHT BACK.

WOULD YOU CARE FOR SEPARATE CHECKS?'

THE TROUBLE WITH THE WORLD TODAY

IT'S PLAIN TO SEE

IS EV'RYTHING IS HURRY UP:

IT'S ALL BECOME LOONEY TUNES

WITH SUGAR PACKS AND PLASTIC SPOONS

AND 'COFFEE'

I THINK SHE SAID

'COFFEE'

I KNOW SHE SAID

'COFFEE'

I'M SURE SHE SAID

'COFFEE'

SHE MUST HAVE SAID

'COFFEE IN A CARDBOARD CUP.'

(spoken):

HURRY UP!
