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 fill that
quota
And the way things are I'll bet
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"
The 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
<instrumental break>
You date a girl and find out
later
She smells just 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 'em flavor
Coffee pickles way outsell the
dill
Why, they put coffee in the
coffee in Brazil
No tea, no tomato juice
You'll see no potato juice
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
An awful lot of coffee
Man, they got a gang of coffee
in Brazil!!
