A Cup Of Coffee
Julian Moon Lyrics

Woah, slow down
Please don't rush me, take your time.

Take it easy
Relax, calm down.

There's a long line behind you
There are other people waiting patiently behind you.

Lower your voice please
Please speak more quietly.

I know it's my job to make it the way you want it
I understand that as a barista, it's my responsibility to make your drink to your liking.

Like a raspberry mocha
For example, a drink with raspberry and chocolate flavors added.

Or a caffe macchiato
Or perhaps a drink with espresso and steamed milk, with the espresso 'marked' by a dollop of foam on top.

Or a non-fat one-pump vanilla latte with two add-shots of espresso
Or a specific order of a latte with vanilla flavor, non-fat milk, and two additional shots of espresso.

Relax and put it in perspective
Take a step back and realize that this is not a major issue.

I mean really
Seriously, let's keep things in perspective here.

It's just a fucking cup of coffee, lady
In the grand scheme of things, this is just a simple beverage, and there's no need to get upset over it.

Is it really gonna break your day
Will one minor inconvenience ruin your entire day?

If it's not exactly your way?
If the drink isn't 100% to your specific order?

Get another one for free, but don't take it out on me
I'm willing to make you another drink at no cost, but please don't take your frustrations out on me.

Hey, OK
Excuse me, it's alright.

I get you're really pissed
I understand that you're angry.

But you're overreacting
You're reacting too strongly to a small issue.

Being ridiculous
Acting in an absurd, exaggerated way.

Is it a little too much of this?
Could it be that there's too much of one ingredient in the drink?

Or not quite enough of that?
Or possibly not enough of another ingredient?

Is it too hot to sip it?
Is the drink too hot to drink immediately?

Is it not non-fat?
Does the drink contain regular milk instead of non-fat milk?

Did your house burn down?
Did something truly catastrophic happen to you?

Did your dog die?
Did you suffer a personal loss that would justify such an extreme reaction?

Did you catch your husband in the act?
Did something traumatic or life-changing happen?

Come on, it's not the end of the world
This is not an event of such magnitude that warrants this level of outrage.

I wish I could punch you in the face
While I don't actually want to physically harm you, your behavior is frustrating me to the point where I'm imagining violent actions.

But I can't
Of course, I won't actually resort to physical violence.

I wish I could stand up on this counter and rant
I wish I could unleash my frustration in a grand, dramatic way.

Instead I have to say, "Have a nice day!"
My job requires me to remain polite and professional, so I will simply end the interaction with a courteous statement.

Oh it's just a fucking cup of coffee.
This whole situation seems ridiculous and overblown when you remember that it's just a beverage.
