Taylor the Latte Boy: Kristin Chenoweth
()
There's a boy who works at Starbucks
/
Who is very inspirational
He is very inspirational because of many things
/
I come in at 8:11, and he smiles and says, "How are you?"
When he smiles and says, "How are you?"
I could swear my heart grows wings
So today at 8:11
I decided I should meet him
I decided I should meet him
In a proper, formal way
So today at 8:11 when he smiled and said "How are you?"
I said "Fine, and my name’s Kristin"
And he softly answered, "Hey"
And I said "My name is Kristen,
/
And thank you for the extra foam"
And he said his name was Taylor,
/
Which provides the inspiration for this poem
Taylor, the latte boy
/
Bring me java, bring me joy
/
Oh, Taylor, the latte boy
I love him, I love him, I love him
[MODULATION]
So I’d like to get my nerve up
To recite my poem musical
He would like the fact it’s musical
Because he plays guitar
So today at 8:11, Taylor told me he was playing
In a band down in the village in the basement of a bar
Bb7sus
And he smoothly flipped the lever to prepare my double latte
But for me he made it triple, and he didn’t think I knew
Bb7sus
But I saw him flip the lever, and for me he made it triple
And I knew that triple latte meant that Taylor loved me too
I said, "What time are you playing?
Em7b5
And thank you for the extra skim"
He said, "Keep the $3.55,"
Because this triple latte was on him
Taylor, the latte boy
/
Bring me java, bring me joy
/ /
Oh, Taylor, the latte boy,
/
I love him, I love him, I love him
I used to be the kind of girl who'd run when love rushed toward her
But finally a voice whispered "Love can be yours
If you step up to the counter and order"
Taylor, the latte boy
/
Bring me java, bring me joy
/ /
Oh, Taylor, the latte boy,
/
I love him, I love him, I love him
So many years my heart has waited
/ /
Who’d have thought that love could be so caffeinated?
Taylor, the latte boy
I love him, I love him, I love him
/
I love him, I love him, I love him
