about
So the other day, my girlfriend pops up with this crazy little song about coffee that she learned in the third grade in Kentucky, and I just loved it and the Philharmonic immediately worked it up and played it at the Midway that weekend. It turns out it's a German song by Karl Gottlieb Hering (how it got from Germany to grade schools in Kentucky, I have no idea.
Meanwhile, you can hear the recording we referenced to work up "The Coffee Song" here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcxzMqazO6U You may notice it's in German- perhaps some day we'll learn it in its native tongue. Meanwhile, if you'd like to try to beat us to it, the lyric follows below.:

lyrics
C-A-F-F-E-E, trink nicht so viel Kaffee!
Nicht für Kinder ist der Türkentrank,
Schwächt die Nerven, macht dich blaß und krank,
Sei doch kein Muselmann, der ihn nicht lassen kann.
Translation:
C-o-f-f-e-e, coffee is not for me,
It's a drink some people wake up with,
That it makes them nervous is no myth,
Slaves to a coffee cup, they can't give coffee up.
