Lyrics:

Hey you in the basketball shorts
Let's go out sometime, just you and I
Do tell how you charmed me
Even though we both were so shy

Hey you with the glittering eyes
I think I know a place you'd like
Meet me down Ontario Street
You bring your board, I'll bring my bike

Mango gelato, the poet, and me
Mango gelato, the poet, and me

Hey you in the Calvin Kleins
You've got so much on your mind
Slow down, stay here with me
We could both use some company

Come now, you're getting all red
Get your to-do list our of your head
We'll have breakfast right here
Anything to keep you near

Mango gelato, the poet, and me
Mango gelato, the poet, and me

Hello, bonjour, goedemorgen, how are ya
Good bye, au revoir, it was sure nice knowing ya

Mango gelato, the poet, and me
Mango gelato, the poet, and me

Lyrics:

The sweet taste of cherry pie on your tongue
Moments like these are fleeting
And I bite my tongue when I see you round town now
How could I have known you'd be leaving

The soft touch, your lips on my shoulder
Moments like these are fleeting
And I bite my lip and remember all your pretty words
The sweet lies you had us believing

Cherry pie, teary-eyed
You came and made me merry
And it couldn't last, but cheers to that
Last taste of the weekend love we had

The sharp trail, your nails across my skin
Moments like these are fleeting
And I can't pin you down, though your scratches linger
You run off and leave me bleeding

Fleeting sweetness, you got a weekday woman
Keep her waiting
At least stay til morning

Cherry pie, teary-eyed
You came and made me merry
And it couldn't last, but cheers to that
Last taste of the weekend love we had

Keep Her Waiting (Live at the Spire)

"She Loves Coffee" written by Haley Sarfeld, performed by Steph Keilhack and Haley Sarfeld as SAPPH DECAF. Recorded live by Bruce Kauffman at The Spire (Sydenham Street United Church, Kingston, Ontario) for 100 Thousand Poets For Change on September 22nd, 2018. 

Lyrics:

Last night my lover and I fell out
What d'you suppose it was all about?
She loves coffee and I love tea
That was the reason we couldn't agree

I like to gossip, I eat messily
She's far too tasteful, she won't spill the tea
She says, love, be nicer, you're always so mean
She likes her life decaf; I'm high on caffeine

Most of the time I love coffee
Most of the time I love tea
Most of the time I think I love you
But you're not very nice to me

She undercuts me whenever we fight
Says I'm too gentle, and maybe she's right
She wants me butcher, thinks tough girls are sweet
I tell her I'm vegan; no butcher, no meat

She's so even-tempered, she'd like you to think
But my little teapot can't handle a drink
She's cute and she's charming, but better watch out
If she gets tipsy, she'll steam up and shout

Most of the time I love coffee
Most of the time I love tea
Most of the time I think I love you
But you're not very nice to me

We played a concert two weekends ago
Crashed at the bartender's after the show
She took the sofa and I took the floor
After that evening, I took her no more

It stands to reason we don't get along
But I just can't stand all this fighting in song
The bedroom is empty and so is my cup
The kettle is broken, it's time to clean up

Most of the time I love coffee
Most of the time I love tea
Most of the time I think I love you
But you're not very nice to me

Last night my lover and I fell out
What d'you suppose it was all about?
She loves coffee and I love tea
That was the reason we couldn't agree
