Taylor the latte boy

ここでもスタバ関係の話をするときにちょくちょく登場しているTaylorという名前。
「Taylorって一体誰なんだっ!?」というお問い合わせをいただいたわけではありませんが(笑)、
今日朝7時に仕掛けた昨日の放課後についての記事をお読みいただく前に
Taylorがいったい何者なのかを詳しく説明しておきたいと思います(笑)。


時は遡り、3月5日。
えっ？もう2ヶ月以上も前なのっ!?(-_＼)(/_-)三( ﾟДﾟ)
Anyway,
On BroadwayでClarisが歌った曲、それが、
「Taylor the latte boy.」です。
↓こんな歌詞

There's a boy who works at Starbucks

Who is very inspirational

He is very inspirational because of many things

I come in at 8:11

And he smiles and says: "How are you?" 

When he smiles and says: "How are you?" 

I could swear my heart grows wings!

So today at 8:11

I decided I should meet him

I decided I should meet him

In a proper formal way

So today at 8:11

When he smiled and said: "How are you?" 

I said: "Fine, and my name's Kristin,"

And he softly answered: "Hey." 

And I said "My name's Kristin

And thank you for the extra foam..."

And he said his name was Taylor

Which provides the inspiration for this poem:

Taylor, the latte boy

Bring me java, bring me joy!

Taylor, the latte boy

I love him, I love him, I love him

So I'd like to get my nerve up

To recite my poem musical

He would like the fact it's musical

Because he plays guitar

So today at 8:11

Taylor told me he was playing

In a band down in the village

In the basement of a bar

And he smoothly flipped the lever

To prepare my double-latte

But for me he made it triple!

(And he didn't think I knew)

But I saw him flip the lever

And for me he made it triple

And I knew that triple-latte meant

That Taylor loved me, too!

I said: "What time are you playing?

And thank you for the extra skim..."

He said: "Keep the $3.55,"

Because this triple latte was on him

Taylor, the latte boy

Bring me java, bring me joy! 

Taylor, the latte boy

I love him, I love him, I love him

I used to be the kind of girl

Who'd run when love rushed toward her

'Til finally a voice whispered: "Love can be yours

If you step up to the counter and order,"

Taylor, the latte boy

Bring me java, bring me joy! 

Taylor, the latte boy

I love him, I love him, I love him

So many years my heart has waited

Who'd have thought that love

Could be so caffeinated?

Taylor, the latte boy

I love him, I love him, I love him

I love him, I love him, I love him!

なぜ、あれほど「WICKED」の「自由を求めて」を歌うと断言していたClarisが、
いきなりスタバの店員に惚れた女の子の歌を歌っているのか、
それは、Kristinが「WICKED」のBroadway Original castのグリンダだからですっ☆
そーゆーことだったのね、と後で知った(笑)。

で、スタバ大好きな私たちは最近毎週金曜日スタバに行き、
Taylor探し＝スタバのイケメン店員探しをしてるわけです(笑)。


わたくし、
最近すっかりこの曲がお気に入りでございまして(笑)。
