Danny, the New Barista

sung to the tune of “Rudolph. the Red-Nosed Reindeer”


Danny the new barista
Had a very shiny watch
And if you ever saw it
You would say it’s not a Swatch.

All of the other baristas

Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Danny
Join in any barista games

Then one blacked out New York night
The manager came to say
"Danny, with your lume so bright
Won't you time my coffee tonight?"

Then all the other baristas
Went to the Seiko boutique
Tried on some superluminova
The lume so bright they couldn’t peek.

Now all the baristas loved him
And they shouted out with glee
"Danny the new barista,
We love our Grand Seiko GMT.”


Danny, the New Barista is a かえうた, kaeuta, which is the Japanese word for song parody.
