Polymnia's men sing, "Coffee in a Carboard Cup, from "70, Girls, 70", a musical with a book by Fred Ebb and Norman L. Martin adapted by Joe Masteroff, lyrics by Ebb, and music by John Kander. The musical is based on the 1958 play Breath of Spring by Peter Coke. The show premiered in the West End at the Vaudeville Theatre on June 17, 1991 running through September 1991.

The trouble with the world today, it seems to me,
is coffee in a cardboard cup.
The trouble with the affluent society
is coffee in a cardboard cup.

No one's ever casual or nonchalant,
No one wastes a minute in a restaurant,
No one wants a waitress passing pleasantries,
like "Hiya Miss, Hiya sir. May I take your order please?"

The trouble with the world today it's plain to see,
is everything is "hurry up".
It's "Rush it through. Don't be slow. B.L.T on rye to go.
And coffee,"
I think she said, "coffee".
I know she said "coffee in a cardboard cup!"

The trouble with the helter skelter life we lead
is coffee in a cardboard cup.
The trouble the psychologists have all agreed
is coffee in a cardboard cup.

Tell me what could possibly be drearier,
than seaboard from the Belnord Cafeteria.
Seems to me a gentleman would much prefer
an "Afternoon! How you been? Would you like the special, sir?"

The trouble with the world is plain, it's plain to see,
is everything is "hurry up."
There's Ready Whip, 'Lectic Shave, Minute Rice and Microwave.
And "coffee",
I think she said "coffee",
I know she said "coffee in a cardboard cup."

Mocha, mocha Joe...
Mocha, mocha Joe...

No one knows the meaning of Utopia,
is dining at your corner cornucopia.
Seems to me we wouldn't be such nervous wrecks
with "Hello there. Be right back. Would you care for separate checks?"

The trouble with the world today it's plain, it's plain to see,
is everything is "hurry up".
It's all become "Looney Tunes"
with sugar packs and plastic spoons,
and "coffee",
I think she said, "coffee",
I know she said, "coffee",
I'm sure she said, "coffee",
She must have said, "coffee in a cardboard cup!"

Hurry up!! (less info)
