I love coffee, I love tea
I love the Java Jive and it loves me
Cofee and tea and the Java and me
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup (boy!)
A sliced up onion and a raw one, Draw one, waiter, waiter, percolator.
These are words are from a song Java Jive Written by Ben Oakland and Milton Drake in 1940 and recorded by The Ink Spots. The Ink Spots were previously known as The Riff Brothers and The Percolating Puppies.
I haven't this song before but I like it. I think it's going to be stuck in my head for awhile. The sculpture is a fun one! I like to see downtown areas do things like this.
ReplyDeleteare they meant to be cups? do children play and climb?
ReplyDeleteLove the sculptures and the song!
ReplyDeleteHello there! Great words and lovely pictures :-)Enjoy your day! We've gotten a little bit of sunshine in Dublin today [yeyyy]
ReplyDeleteI think those are toooo coooool, were they sitting in front of a coffee shop? Boy do I remember that song.
ReplyDeleteI don't know the song but I LOVE coffee--and lots of it!
ReplyDeleteNow I'd like to know the significance of the coffee sculpture in front of the lawyers' office.
Best,
Bonnie
I didn't recognize this song, but I like it. The cups are cute! Your downtown seems fun. I love coffee and sweet tea! I'm trying to drink more water.
ReplyDeleteThe Percolating Puppies huh? That's a cute name. I've never heard the song before but I like it. I don't get the part about the sliced up onion though.
ReplyDeleteVery creative sidewalk art that place has
Yes Ma'am... Since I am nearly 75, I remember that. :-)
ReplyDeleteOhhhh do I ever missssss REAL java!! -sigh- But stayin' alive is keeping me off it and on decaf. :-) And keepin' me Off so many other delicious eating items. It all depends on one's priorities. :-)
"The night was clear and frosty,
all ebony of shadow
and silver of snowy slope;
big stars were shining over the silent fields."
~Lucy Maud Montgomery
This song will be going through my head for the rest of the day! But I do like the coffee cups. These are a great find.
ReplyDeleteI thought for a minute that you had become a writer of poems! I have never heard the song...
ReplyDeletei was thinking the same thing as others above - she's gone rogue! :)
ReplyDeleteGosh, I am seeing all kinds of really cool things around your town lately!!! The Geckos, the Village of The Arts, the Arcade! This is totally cool, it's like you are giving me a tour of your city! Love these coffee mugs! I remember this song very well, but didn't know all these words.
ReplyDeleteI recognized that old song from the beginning. My parents used to have music going all of the time ---and my brothers loved that music also... That song was one of many old songs I remember...
ReplyDeleteCute post, Sandra.

Betsy

What fun sculptures! You share the most intriguing things with us.

ReplyDeleteI was reading it thinking wow Sandra is on a good writing kick today-until you told me somebody else wrote it : ) Love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for that, and yes I do remember that song.
ReplyDeleteIt was as perky as coffee is to us these days.

ReplyDeletethe song is lovely as are those sculptures. i looove coffee, too!!
ReplyDeleteLove these! These points of interest snapshots are my favorites!
ReplyDeleteI remember the "Ink Spots" but I don't remember their songs. I remember the song sung by some one else and a little faster.
ReplyDeleteSandra, I am very familiar with this song, because we have a Sirius radio subscription and listen to 40s songs a lot. But I didn't know the various names of the Ink Spots group. It's a wonderful song especially for coffee lovers like us!
ReplyDeleteThat is some song! I have never heard it before. All the pictures are good. Love ya, Madeline
ReplyDeleteSuper bike racks!
ReplyDeleteFun street art! I don't love coffee but I do love my tea...
