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 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 is plain to see
 Is everything is hurry up
 It's "rush it through"
 "Don't be slow"
 "BLT 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 today is plain to se
 Is everything is hurry up
 There's Reddi 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'
 (Spoken): "Hurry up!"
