lyrics

Hey Starbucks
Get outta my neighborhood
Every time I look around
You are there to be found

Hey Starbucks
How many stores do you need?
How many folks do you overcharge
How many kids do you feed?
None!

Went to the Taj Majal
Ordered a cup of joe
When I asked where it was from
They said you dont want to know

Went to Ellis Island
The Statue of Liberty
And when I went into the crown
What do you think I did see?

They were serving frappucino
Giving out cappucino
Dishing out mochachino
This and that a-chino

Hey Starbucks
Get outta my neighborhood
Every time I look around
You are there to be found

Hey Starbucks
How many stores do you need?
How many folks do you overcharge
How many kids do you feed?
None!

Went to Mt. Rushmore
Lookin' at Roosevelt
Was surprised to see
A Starbucks in his belt

Yeah Mt. Rushmore
Washington was big
Was surprised to see
A Starbucks in his wig

Then I went to Notre Dam
Flew to Vietnam
Ended up in Guam
And all of them served Non
Fat, Decaf, Lates, From Starbucks

Hey Starbucks
Get outta my neighborhood
Every time I look around
You are there to be found

Hey Starbucks
How many stores do you need?
How many folks do you overcharge
How many kids do you feed?
None!

Its funny cause its true
