Lyric

Hey — what is this!?

There's something in my cup!

Slipped into my morning brew

A tiny stranger showed up

Panic in my sleepy eyes

But it grinned and stared right back —

A face that makes me freeze and laugh

A weird and wild attack

(Oh!) Somebody new is swimming in my coffee!

Where'd you come from? What are you? Tell me, please!

This morning's kind of magic, unbelieveable and stuffed —

Who would ever trust it? There's something in my cup!

Felt a tickle on my fingertip

A little body shivered near

Wriggling like a tiny worm

It whispered soft into my ear

“Hi!” it said with cheeky pride

Popped up from the steaming tide —

Too bold, too friendly, speaking fast:

“Hello! How are you?” it replied

(Oh!) Somebody new just leapt out of my coffee!

So pushy, so familiar — what a first contact line

A morning I can't explain, a secret just for us —

No one would ever believe me: something in my cup!

I swallowed down the last sip — looked into the bottom now

Tiny eyes still staring up, like they never left somehow

I tucked him in my pocket, slipped out to catch the train

Kept him secret all that year — and guess what? He's still stayin'!

(Oh!) Somebody strange is living in my coffee!

From where, from what dimension — tell me, please!

A morning made of wonder, a story just for one —

My private little secret: something in my cup!

But hey — I know the truth, I know it up and down —

(It’s all a hallucination!) — I’m laughing in this town

(Whisper) Maybe it’s real… or maybe just my luck —

Either way, it’s here with me — something in my cup
