Let's Have Another Cup of Coffee
Michael Feinstein Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There?s a rainbow in the sky.
So let?s have another cup of coffee
And let?s have another piece o? pie!
Trouble?s just a bubble,
And the clouds will soon roll by?
So let?s have another cup of coffee
And let?s have another piece o? pie!
For it?s just an April show?r.
Even John D. Rockefeller
Is looking for a silver lining.
Mister Herbert Hoover
says that now?s the time to buy.
So let?s have another cup of coffee
And let?s have another piece o? pie!
We must keep smiling and play the game
While life keeps hurrying on
For there was trouble before we came
'Twill be here after we're gone
So we'll just have to prepare
To snap our fingers at care
Long as there's you, long as there's me
Long as the best things in life are free
I say it's spinach and the hell with it
The hell with it, that's all!
Long as I'm yours, long as your mine
Long as there's love and a moon to shine
I say it's spinach and the hell with it
The hell with it, that's all!
There must be rain to pitter-patter
Things don't come on a silver platter
What does it matter?
Long as there's you, long as there's me
Long as the best things in life are free
I say it's spinach and the hell with it
The hell with it, that's all

The second verse builds on the notion that it's important to maintain a positive attitude even when faced with challenges. The line "Let a smile be your umbrella, for it's just an April show'r" encourages finding joy in difficult situations. The references to John D. Rockefeller and Herbert Hoover emphasize that even influential and wealthy individuals are seeking silver linings during tough times.
