\"Coffee,<\/p>\n

Coffee, coffee, we adore thee!

Melt the fog of sleepy stumbling;
\ndrive the dark of night away.
\nGiver of immortal gladness,
\ncaffeinate us for the day!<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, it should be sung to the tune \u201cOde to Joy,\u201d although others work as well.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
