50 Bucks To Buy A Latte is an unidentified parody of the Paul Simon's 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover song whose earliest mention dates back to April 2002.
Search History[]
Around supposedly 2010s, user Volpmail posted the full song onto the voicemail sharing site YouMail as a free voicemail greeting, tagging it as "Great Coffee Lovers Song." No information was provided by them.
On January 19th, 2010, YouTube user berbaroolz uploaded his original tribute MV for the song. The audio attached to the video was incomplete, and the user never provided any information. After this upload, his YouTube channel became inactive.
On September 18th, 2025, Lostwave's Unfinest uploaded the full song to YouTube eventually, stating the earliest mention actually dated back to April 2004. (Although no link to the information source is provided.) However, the description would be changed to accompany the new discovery of another mention from a list page for parody songs on the Premiere Radio Networks website dating back to December of 2002.
Presumed Lyrics[]
The problem starts when I leave my bed to get coffee
They want too much money for a cup of joe, you see
For an Espresso, always charge me quite a fee
So, they want 50 bucks to buy a Latte
(Ka-ching!)
Each day I really should not have what they have brewed
But a morning without coffee will leave me in a bad mood
I’ll caffeinate myself
As my wallet's being screwed
So, they want 50 bucks to buy a Latte
(Ka-ching!)
50 bucks to buy a Latte
Just take all my cash, Jack
Drink all I can, Stan
I'm a tired old boy, Roy
I need my caffeine
But they charge us too much, Gus
So [pretty at Starbucks?]
Might start drinking tea, Lee
To save some money
Just take all my cash, Jack
Drink all I can, Stan
I’m a tired old boy, Roy
Just need my caffeine
But they charge us too much, Gus
So [pretty at Starbucks?]
I'm broke as can be, Lee
Even water ain't free
(Ka-ching!)
(Ka-ching...)
