Coffee is big in the Pacific Northwest, and this tune sums it up.

"Gimme a Latte" pokes a little fun at the coffee culture, arguably spawned in the Pacific Northwest by Starbucks. This song pays homage to the coveted caffeine fix required by so many Seattlelites.

I love coffee, gotta have it. Why not write a song about it, the myriad ways to get the caffeine fix and the soothing ritual of going to the local coffee house and sitting for awhile in the cozy atmosphere?

(Gimme A Latte)
You can keep your OJ and your guava
Nothing tastes quite like a cuppa java
Wipe away the morning fog
Rub away the crusty eyes
Cottonmouth just disappears
Put your nightmares in arrears

I don't wanna hydrate with no water
Even though my doctor says I oughta
Brew it up it smells so fine
Pour it in this cup of mine
Just a dab of cream will do
Nothing like a cup of brew

(chorus)
Gimme a latte, a cup of dark splendor
the smell of Sumatra, the sound of the blender
I live for the juice, that flows thru my veins
The culture of caffeine, helps ease the pain

Gimme a Latte, a tall frappucino
the drug of the masses, It's better than vino
A double tall mocha, a cup of pure joy
Variety choices, like peppermint soy

(verse 2)
West coast coffee has that special something
Not like eastern coastal donut dunkin'
Screw the cost I just don't mind
Four bucks aint that hard to fiind
Charge it on my credit card
Auto payments aren't that hard

Even if you travel wide and far
You can find that old familiar star
Indonesia or Japan
Francais or the hinterlands
Doesn't matter where you're at
Mochaccino double fat

(chorus 2)
Gimme a latte, a dark roast from Kenya
A double tall no whip, no skinny agenda
One shot of caffeine, or how 'bout a double
Each day I stay wired, a triple's no trouble

Gimme a latte, Li-ki-ti-split
The waiting is over so give me a hit
Gimme a latte, gimme a smile
The atmosphere's cozy, think I'll stay for awhile
