I Have To Have One


I see the mug and I want what's in it I've been staring ALL DAY at this mug And now I'm looking at the bottom of it Warm to the touch Now bone dry Clean & ready For morning I have to have one And then I have to brew for myself The stuff And then I have to drink it before gets cold And every time I look at this mug I want what's in it Sometimes I think about filling it with something I know I don't like As if the mug with make it better The mug looks good in my hands And on the coffee table And knocked over on the floor When I see people get upset, I think They need a mug filled with the stuff That would be a well-timed mugging
