Black Cold Coffee

(Mogg/Moore)

Captain Midnight and Captain Cruise

Out on the ocean like a storm of bad news

It took three monkeys in a plastic mac

To fit inside a paper sack

And they're cooking up an alibi

Cooking up some steam

Out in the madness

Somewhere in Orleans

They had a plan, they had a plot

Beggars and blues was all they got

Black cold coffee

Black Irish soup

Cold on a silver spoon

She's dancing through hoops

Baby's wishing on a wishing well

She's moving up and ringing her bell

Can't fly to heaven on a Persian rug

So put some coins in the old sailor mug

They travelled up together

From the coast

East of Aldgate

Silently like ghosts

They had a scam, they had a scheme

For drunks and bums counting beans

Black cold coffee

Black Irish soup

Cold on a silver spoon

She's dancing through hoops

Solo

Black cold coffee

Black Irish soup

Cold on a silver spoon

She's dancing through hoops
