Boba

[shallwedance_]

So since my digestion went blooey last month, I've been avoiding caffeine and milk where possible. Which means the person who penned "We put the TEA in TEAM" into comic book has been avoiding milk tea like the plague. But listen to an early 70s rock song about dating a transvestite and a mid-80s Weird Al parody of it about a wrinkled green muppet enough times and, well, this happens:

(To the tune of 'Lola' by The Kinks)


I walked with the team
To a cafe one day
And being quite thirsty
I was gonna order
A soda
S-o-d-a soda

She handed me a cup
Which she asked me to try
I asked her the name
Of this light brown drink
She said boba
B-o-b-a boba
Bo-bo-bo-bo boba

Well I'm not the world's
Most emotional guy
But when I took that first sip
There was a tear in my eye
Oh my boba
Bo-bo-bo-bo boba

Well I'm not dumb
But why do I end up
With tapioca left
And no tea in my cup?
Oh my boba
Bo-bo-bo-bo boba
Bo-bo-bo-bo boba

Well we drank milk tea
And danced all night
Under the yellow
Street lamp light
She said I could try
Her jasmine green tea
In exchange for some fried
Calimari

Well it's not like I
Was in study mode
But when we said good night
I got one for the road
Oh my boba
Bo-bo-bo-bo boba
Bo-bo-bo-bo boba

I picked out my straw
I left change as a tip
I took my first sip
I downed tapioca whole
It was sweet and creamy
Dollar fifty caffeine

Well that's the way
That I want it to stay
And I always want it
To be that way
For my boba
Bo-bo-bo-bo boba

Leads can't follow
But follows still lead
It's a mixed up muddled up
Ballroom team
Except for boba
Bo-bo-bo-bo boba

Well I moved here
Just a week before
And I'd never saw
Purple taro before
But boba fit
Just so well in my hand
And said drink up
And I'll make you a man

Well I'm not the world's
Most insatiable guy
But I need caff to study
So I'm gonna buy
Another boba
Bo-bo-bo-bo boba
Bo-bo-bo-bo boba

Boba
Bo-bo-bo-bo boba
Bo-bo-bo-bo boba
