Cooke, Sam - The Coffee Song (They've Got An Awful Lot Of Coffee In Brazil) Lyrics
Way down among the 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.
'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 fifty dollar bill,
A politician's daughter,
Was accused of drinking water,
And was fined a great big fifty dollar bill,
They've got an awful lot of coffee, a zillion tons of coffee in Brazil.

is music sam cooke
Correct ! Frank Sinatra recorded the first version then many others followed including Sam Cooke.
I got here through a 6 year old MLP comic dub. How crazy is that?
Lmfao, nice
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 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
The politician's daughter
Was accused of drinking water
And was fined a great big fifty dollar bill
They got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil
No rum - and no soda cup
It's bad - for the coffee crop
And those tiny little TV beans say
No no no
So your lead to the local color
Serving coffee with a cruller
Dunking doesn't take a lot of skill
They got an awful lot of coffee
A zillion tons of coffee
They got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil
My Mom and Dad absolutely loved this album. Thanks so much Eydie!
What a voice she was blessed with,a true soprano and could sing opera,too,she was very talented,her death leaves a void,just like the death of Pavarotti,any one who is this immensley talented,leaves a void in a persons life.May she rest in God's holy protective hands.We miss you Eydie,and we love you,God bless you.
"Soprano"? Perhaps at times, but more usually Eydie was a wonderfully sonorous, resonant mezzo.
Yes I remember this number as performed , wait for it , Danny Kaye maybe with the Andrew sisters circa 1947. Takes me back to the RAF.
