Remember the coffee song, as Frank used to sing it in 1946:
Way down among Brazilians
You can't get cherry soda
No tea or tomato juice
The politician's daughter
You date a girl and find out later
And when their ham and eggs need savor
No tea, no tomato juice
So you'll add to the local color
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
'cause they've got to fill that quota
And the way things are I'll bet they never will
They've got a zillion tons of coffee in Brazil
You'll see no potato juice
'cause the planters down in Santos all say "No, no, no"
Was accused of drinkin' water
And was fined a great big fifty dollar bill
They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil
She smells just like a percolator
Her perfume was made right on the grill
Why, they could percolate the ocean in Brazil
Coffee ketchup gives 'em flavor
Coffee pickles way outsell the dill
Why, they put coffee in the coffee in Brazil
You'll see no potato juice
The planters down in Santos all say "No, no, no"
Serving coffee with a cruller
Dunkin' doesn't take a lot of skill
They've got an awful lot of coffee
An awful lot of coffee
Man, they got a gang of coffee in Brazil!!
