Lyrics
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 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
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 out sell 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
Dunking doesn’t take a lot of skill
They’ve got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil.
