Throw a bunch of baristas together, a dash of caffieine, classy attire and a white elephant exchange and what do you get? A Standing Stone Coffee Company Christmas Party!
Head to the SSCC Facebook Group to see the video of this performance. The lyrics were for barista John’s breakdancing routine. Check it out – it will spin your head as he spins on his! (well, he didn’t but it was amazing in other way!)
Below are the lyrics:
Reluctantly waiting at the counter line,
Caffeine pumping and thumping in time.
The green light turns on, the brewer is up,
Grinding and brewing, he yearns for the cup.
Staff deftly manouver and muscle for rank,
Espresso pulling fast on an empty tank,
Wreckless and wild they pour thru the shots,
The espresso is podent and whip cream tops.
As they speed thru the airpots, the hopper goes down.
The guests get up, and they get out of town.
The shop is empty except for one man,
Still drinking and sipping as fast as he can
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up,
And eventually everyone has chipped a cup,
But he’s drinking and slurping the origin he yearns,
And thinking of Brundi whom he still burns.
He’s going the distance.
He’s almost on speed.
He’s not alone, not alone in his time of need.
Because he’s racing and pacing and grinding it course,
He’s chewing the Greek and eating like a horse.
He’s going the distance.
no tea, no smoothie, no milkshakes, no wine,
he’s haunted by aromas he cannot define.
bowel-shaking earthquakes of coffee and remorse,
assail him, impale him with Andy-truck force.
in his mind, he’s still drinking, still sipping the grade.
He’s hoping in time that Foldgers will fade.
cause he’s racing and pacing and grinding it course,
He’s chewing a Montana and eating like a horse.
the sun has gone down and the moon has come up,
and everyday baristas will give him a cup.
But he’s drinking and slurping the origin he yearns,
And thinking of Rwanda whom he still burns.
Cause he’s going the distance.
He’s almost on speed.
He’s not all alone, not alone in his time of need.
Because he’s racing and pacing and grinding it course,
He’s chewing a Montana and eating like a horse.
Because he’s racing and pacing and grinding it course,
He’s chewing a Bonanza and eating like a horse.
He’s going the distance.
He’s almost on speed.
He’s going the distance.
