The Coffee Song
Frank Sinatra; Orchestra under the direction of Axel Stordahl Lyrics

Way down among Brazilians
In the depths of Brazil, where the coffee beans grow abundantly

Coffee beans grow by the billions
There are an enormous amount of coffee beans being harvested

So they've got to find those extra cups to fill
To use up all the coffee, they need to find even more cups to fill

They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil
There is a huge surplus of coffee in Brazil

You can't get cherry soda
Cherry soda is not available

'Cause they've got to fill that quota
The coffee production quota takes priority over other beverages

And the way things are I'll bet they never will
It is unlikely that cherry soda will be readily available anytime soon

They've got a zillion tons of coffee in Brazil
There is an enormous quantity of coffee in Brazil

No tea or tomato juice
Tea and tomato juice are not available

You'll see no potato juice
There is no such thing as potato juice

The planters down in Santos all say no no no
The coffee planters in Santos refuse to produce these other beverages

The politician's daughter
The daughter of a politician

Was accused of drinking water
She was accused of drinking something besides coffee

And was fined a great big fifty dollar bill
She was fined a large amount of money for not drinking coffee

They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil
There is an overwhelming supply of coffee in Brazil

You date a girl and find out later
You may date someone and later realize something important about them

She smells just like a percolator
She smells strongly of coffee

Her perfume was made right on the grill
Her perfume was made with the aroma of coffee being roasted

Why they could percolate the ocean in Brazil
They have so much coffee that they could seemingly brew an endless amount

And when their ham and eggs need savor
To add flavor to their meals like ham and eggs

Coffee ketchup gives 'em flavor
They use coffee-flavored ketchup to give their food flavor

Coffee pickles way outsell the dill
Even pickles are made with coffee flavoring and outsell regular dill pickles

Why they put coffee in the coffee in Brazil
They use coffee to flavor their coffee

So your lead to the local color
This leads you to the local culture and traditions

Serving coffee with a cruller
They are serving coffee with a type of pastry called a cruller

Dunking doesn't take a lot of skill
Dunking the cruller in the coffee is an easy task

They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil
There is an overwhelming abundance of coffee in Brazil
