Let's Have Another Cup of Coffee/I Say It's Spinach
Michael Feinstein Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just around the corner,
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!
Let a smile be your umbrella,
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 acknowledges that life will always bring challenges, but it's up to us to smile and play the game. The use of historical figures such as John D.
