Ben Folds – Free Coffee Lyrics 16 years ago
The story Ben tells when he plays Toronto/Rochester is that the song emerged from a coffe shop in Rochester (Java's) by the Eastman School of Music. The version he plays in Rochester is different, but the chorus is identical.

He played it in '07 at the RIT Field House, and again a few weeks back at Waterstreet Music Hall in Rochester, NY.

I went to a coffee house
Right next to the music conservatory
And they gave me some food
And they didn't charge me
And they gave me some coffee
And they didn't charge me
And when I was broke, I needed it more
And now that I'm rich, they give me coffee
But I appreciate it
Because they make very good coffee
And I think that it is the coolest coffee shop
Because everyone's not so fucking (sour/dour) like they are at other coffee shops
Well God damn
