Lyrics The Coffee Song - Bebe Neuwirth

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 guess 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"

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

You date a girl and find out later
She smells like a percolator
Her perfume was made right on the grill
Why, they could percolate the ocean in Brazil

And when their ham and eggs need savor
Coffee ketchup gives them 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 you'll add to the local color
Serving coffee with a cruller
Dunkin' doesn't take a lot of skill
They've got an awful lot of coffee
Giants tons of coffee
An awful lot of coffee
In Brazil
