The Coffee Song

Lyrics

Way down among Brazilians
 Coffee beans grow by the billions
 So they've got to find those extra cups to fill
 They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil
 You can't get cherry soda
 'Cause they've got to sell that quota
 And the way things are I'll guess they never will
 They've got a zillion tons of coffee in Brazil
 No tea
 Or tomato juice
 You'll see
 No potato juice
 'Cause the planters down in Santos all say
 "No, no, no"
 A politician's daughter
 Was accused of drinkin' water
 And was fined a great big fifty dollar bill
 They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil
 You date a girl and find out later
 She smells like a percolator
 Her perfume was made right on the grill
 Why, they could percolate the ocean in Brazil
 And when their ham and eggs need savor
 Coffee ketchup gives them flavor
 Coffee pickles way outsell the dill
 Why, they put coffee in the coffee in Brazil
 No tea
 Or tomato juice
 You'll see
 No potato juice
 'Cause the planters down in Santos all say
 "No, no, no"
 So you'll add to the local color
 Serving coffee with a cruller
 Dunkin' doesn't take a lot of skill
 They've got an awful lot of coffee
 Giants tons of coffee
 An awful lot of coffee
 In Brazil
