The Coffee Song

Sam Cooke

Way down among the Brazillians
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 their quota
And the way things are I 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 drinking water
And was fined a great big 50 dollar bill
They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil

A politician's daughter
Was accused of drinking water
And was fined a great big 50 dollar bill
They've got an awful lot of coffee
A zillion tons of coffee in Brazil
