The Coffee Song

Frank Steinhoff suggested this Sinatra’s song. It’s about coffee and Brazil and it would have arise in a coffee talk at IMECC’s coffee room.

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 bet 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

The politician’s daughter
Was accused of drinking water
And was fined a great big fifty dollar bill
They’ve got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil

No tea or tomato juice
You’ll see no potato juice

And when their ham and eggs need savor
Coffee ketchup gives ’em 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 your lead to the local color
Serving coffee with a cruller
Dunking doesn’t take a lot of skill
They’ve got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil
